Job Description

GTAW Precision Fabrication Specialist

Picture starting your day on a clean, organized floor. You pull the latest print, confirm weld symbols, and choose the right filler for stainless, aluminum, or carbon steel. You set up your fixtures, dial in heat input to control distortion, and lay down crisp, uniform beads that pass visual and dimensional checks the first time. That’s a typical day here—hands-on craftsmanship backed by process discipline.

About the Work

In this role, you’ll execute precision TIG (GTAW) welding and fabrication, assembling components to exact specifications. You’ll move seamlessly from layout and fit-up to final finish, ensuring quality and safety at every step while helping the team meet production targets.

What You’ll Do
  • Perform TIG (GTAW) welding across stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel/alloys
  • Read and apply blueprints, schematics, weld symbols, and technical drawings
  • Handle layout, fit-up, and fabrication of complex metal parts and assemblies
  • Meet visual and dimensional quality criteria with tight tolerances
  • Use precision measurement and inspection tools to verify results
  • Grind, finish, and prepare materials to support high-quality welds
  • Follow safety procedures and keep your station orderly and clean
  • Work independently and with a fabrication team to hit production goals
What You Bring
  • 5+ years of hands-on TIG (GTAW) welding experience
  • Expertise reading blueprints and interpreting welding symbols
  • Demonstrated success welding stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel
  • Solid background in fabrication, layout, and mechanical assembly
  • Comfort with precision measuring and inspection methods
  • Mastery of welding techniques, heat control, and distortion mitigation
  • Ability to produce work that aligns with industry quality standards (AWS or comparable experience preferred)
Preferred Extras
  • AWS certification (preferred)
  • Experience in manufacturing, fab shop, or industrial environments
  • Familiarity with ASME or structural welding applications
  • Strong troubleshooting skills and meticulous attention to detail
  • Proven success in a high-velocity production setting
Who Thrives Here

A dependable craftsperson who takes pride in clean, consistent, beautiful welds. Someone versatile, quality-obsessed, and efficient—who can take on complex builds without compromising safety.

Why You’ll Enjoy It
  • Day-shift schedule—keep your evenings and weekends free
  • Competitive pay with overtime potential
  • Comprehensive benefits: health, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO, and more
  • Ongoing training with real advancement pathways
  • Safe, tidy, and supportive shop culture
Machines & Technologies You’ll Use
  • TIG Welder
