We are seeking an experienced, self-directed Welder/Fabricator to help get our fleet up to par as we bring on new trucks. Right now we have several fabrication projects lined up - building flatbeds, fabricating and repairing seal coating equipment, and a handful of miscellaneous welding projects. This is as-needed, outdoor fabrication work for someone who can be pointed at a project, told what the finished product needs to look like, and trusted to weld and fabricate it correctly with minimal supervision. It's an ideal fit for a skilled tradesperson who likes running their own work and doing their own thing.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Build flatbeds for trucks from the ground up - layout, cutting, fitting, and welding

- Fabricate, repair, and modify seal coating equipment and other fleet components

- Handle miscellaneous welding and fabrication projects as they come up

- Primary welding with MIG; TIG as needed for certain projects

- Cut and prep material using plasma and oxyacetylene

- Read and interpret drawings, measurements, and specs

- Fit, tack, weld, and finish to spec across a variety of materials

- Work independently, managing your own pace and quality

- Maintain safe, clean work practices and care for equipment

- Take direction and execute jobs with little hand-holding

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Proven welding and fabrication experience, primarily MIG welding

- Proficient with plasma and oxyacetylene cutting

- TIG welding ability a plus (used as needed)

- Experience building or fabricating truck beds, trailers, equipment, or similar steel structures

- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision

- Ability to read measurements, drawings, and fabrication specs

- Comfortable performing physical work outdoors in varying weather

- Reliable transportation and dependable attendance

PREFERRED (A PLUS, NOT REQUIRED)

- Ability to paint/finish the metal after a project is complete

- Basic electrical/wiring skills - able to wire up lights and similar components

- TIG welding experience

EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

This is not an entry-level position. Candidates without proven hands-on welding and fabrication experience will not be considered. Painting, wiring, and TIG are bonuses - but MIG welding and fabrication experience is a must.

WHAT WE OFFER

- Part-time / as-needed work that fits an independent schedule

- A variety of real fabrication work - flatbeds, equipment, and custom projects rather than repetitive line production

- Competitive hourly pay based on experience and skill

Pay: $26.00 - $32.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
