Metal Fabricator

We are looking for a talented metal fabricator to build high-quality metal components for our clients. As a metal fabricator, you will be responsible for reading and interpreting engineering blueprints, fabricating metal components or structures, and performing quality checks on finished products. You may also be required to set up fabricating machines and design custom templates. You should also have advanced knowledge of industrial metalwork, a good eye for detail, and excellent mathematical skills.

Metal Fabricator Responsibilities(but not limited to):

• Analyze engineering drawings, blueprints, specifications, sketches, work orders, and material safety data sheets to plan layout, assembly, and welding operations.
• Constructing base templates if necessary.
• Measuring and marking out cutting and bending lines.
• Setting up metalwork machinery including rollers, drill presses, flame cutters, brakes, and shears.
• Double-checking design specifications before commencing cutting work.
• Determine required equipment and welding methods, applying knowledge of metallurgy, geometry, and welding techniques.
• Prepare all material surfaces to be welded, ensuring that there is no loose or thick scale, slag, rust, moisture, grease, or other foreign matter.
• Fabricating and constructing metal components.
• Remove rough spots from workpieces, using portable grinders, hand files, or scrapers.
• Performing quality checks on completed products.
• Conforming with state and company safety regulations.
• Completing job reports.
• Mark or tag material with proper job number, piece marks, and other identifying marks as required.
• Weld components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions.
• Clamp, hold, tack-weld, heat-bend, grind or bolt component parts to obtain required configurations and positions for welding.
• Detect faulty operation of equipment or defective materials and notify supervisors.
• Operate manual or semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal segments, using processes such as gas metal arc, flux-cored arc, plasma arc, and shielded metal arc.
• Monitor the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material.
• Examine workpieces for defects and measure workpieces with straightedges or templates to ensure conformance with specifications.
• Recognize, set up, and operate hand and power tools common to the welding trade, such as shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding equipment.
• Chip or grind off excess weld, slag, or spatter, using hand scrapers or power chippers, portable grinders, or arc-cutting equipment.
• Check grooves, angles, or gap allowances, using micrometers, calipers, and precision measuring instruments.
• Preheat workpieces prior to welding or bending, using torches or heating furnaces.

Metal Fabricator Requirements:

• Previous work experience as a metal fabricator.
• AWS certification (prefered) and advanced welding experience.
• Advanced knowledge of engineering design and manufacturing procedures.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering blueprints.
• Proficiency with metal fabrication tools including shears, rollers, flame cutters, and drill presses.
• Advanced mathematical and engineering skills.
• Ability to lift and manipulate large metal objects.
• Ability to stand for long periods.
• Contribute to the team by helping improve products and processes
• Work with other team members to solve problems, increase productivity, and communicate effectively
• Fabricate parts and prototypes from simple sketches
• Other shop work will be required
• Must be able to pass drug test
• Must have a valid driver's license
• Must have reliable transportation to work.
