Welder / Fabricator Location: East Granby, CT Company: Atlantic Fabricating Company

About Us Founded in 1986, Atlantic Fabricating Company is a women-owned small business specializing in laser cutting, machining, and metal fabrication. We support customers in aerospace, defense, nuclear, energy, and advanced manufacturing from our fully equipped 18,000 sq ft facility in East Granby, CT.

We're looking for an experienced Welder / Fabricator to join our back shop. This is a hands-on role for someone who's comfortable moving between processes, materials, and job types — from small precision TIG work to larger MIG-welded weldments and fabrications. You'll work closely with our programmers, machinists, and quality team to turn drawings into finished parts.

Job Type Full-Time

Pay[X–X– X–Y/hr], based on experience

Schedule 40 hours per week, with overtime as approved or required by workload

Role Overview Reporting to the Operations Manager, the Welder / Fabricator performs a broad mix of welding and fabrication work across our customer base. The right person brings strong fundamentals across multiple weld processes and materials, owns their part of the job from layout through final weld-out, and is comfortable picking up adjacent work — fit-up, light forming, grinding and finishing, assembly — as the job demands.

Responsibilities

Welding & Fabrication

Perform MIG and TIG welding on stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum
Read and interpret fabrication drawings, weld symbols, and GD&T callouts
Handle layout, fit-up, tacking, and final weld-out on components ranging from small precision assemblies to larger structural weldments
Move between job types as workflow shifts — production runs, prototypes, and one-off fabrications
Support adjacent operations as needed: bending, grinding, finishing, light assembly

Quality & Compliance

Weld to AWS D1.1 and D1.6 standards, with support for ASME B31.1 / B31.3 work as Atlantic expands into pressure vessel and power generation work
Work with the Quality team to ensure parts meet customer and code requirements the first time
Maintain clean, safe, and organized work areas

Systems

Use Fulcrum ERP to log hours, track job progress, and provide visibility into production

Qualifications

10+ years of welding and fabrication experience preferred; 7+ years required
Strong MIG and TIG skills across stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum
Comfortable reading complex blueprints, weld symbols, and GD&T callouts
Familiarity with AWS D1.1 / D1.6; ASME B31.1 / B31.3 experience a plus. Prior certifications are welcome — all welders are qualified in-house to Atlantic's procedures regardless of prior credentials.
Hands-on layout, fit-up, and general fabrication skills
Self-directed — able to take a drawing and run with it
ERP or job-tracking software experience a plus (Fulcrum preferred)

Additional Info This is a full-time role with room to grow. As Atlantic expands into pressure vessel and power generation work, welders who can handle a range of materials, processes, and job types will be central to where the company is heading.
