Structural Steel MIG/FCAW Fabrication Welder

A day in this role

Picture starting your morning reviewing fabrication drawings, then heading to a construction site to fit and weld structural members. By midday you’re in an aerial lift, tying in new equipment, and later you’re troubleshooting a conveyor line in a manufacturing plant. You’ll typically keep four projects moving at once—balancing quality, safety, and schedules while working at height and in changing site conditions.

Core work you’ll do

• Execute MIG and flux-cored arc welds on structural steel and industrial machinery
• Install equipment—rig, fit, align, and weld components into position
• Fabricate steel assemblies for new construction
• Repair and maintain conveyor systems
• Read and apply blueprints and fabrication drawings
• Uphold rigorous safety and workmanship standards across all jobs

Where you’ll work

Industrial job sites, manufacturing facilities, and active construction environments. Comfort with heights and variable conditions is essential.

Drive time: Paid—travel to and from job sites is compensated.

What you bring

• Required: MIG welding; flux core welding; proficiency with vertical position welds; strong blueprint reading; ease working at heights; prior industrial experience preferred
• Plus: Structural steel fabrication; conveyor repair experience; equipment installation; new construction background; proven ability to manage multiple concurrent projects
