Job Description

*** Must have at least 2 years of MIG welding experience***

 

About the Role

We are a small fabrication shop specializing in outdoor consumer products such as maple syrup evaporators and Jeep roof racks. Our work is hands-on, small-batch, and focused on quality — we don’t mass-produce parts, which means every project is different and craftsmanship truly matters. We’re looking for a quality-focused welder/fabricator to join our team. In this role, you’ll weld, assemble, and finish metal parts to precise standards while contributing to products that our customers use and enjoy outdoors. The ideal candidate has welding experience, attention to detail, and takes pride in producing durable, high-quality work.

Job Duties and Responsibilities

• Weld and assemble parts to company standards

• Use MIG/TIG welding processes

• Perform finishing tasks such as grinding, sanding, scraping, and weld clean-up

• Read and follow blueprints, drawings, and schematics

• Perform basic math calculations (whole numbers, fractions, decimals)

• Accurately measure and fit parts using tape measures, rules, and squares

• Explore ways to improve efficiency, speed, and quality of work

• Adhere to company safety, quality, and production guidelines

Minimum Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent (additional welding training/certification preferred)

• Welding experience required; proficiency in MIG/TIG strongly preferred

• Ability to weld in a flat position and recognize a quality weld

Knowledge and Skills

• Basic understanding of fabrication design and technical plans

• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions

• Strong mechanical aptitude with pattern recognition and attention to detail

• Ability to read prints/schematics and work independently or in a team environment

Physical Requirements

• Lift up to 50 lbs from floor to overhead shelving

• Frequent standing, walking, bending, reaching, and twisting

• Good close-range vision and depth perception

Why Work Here

This isn’t assembly-line welding. At our shop, you’ll be building small batches of products — often just a handful at a time — so you won’t be stuck welding the same part all day. Every project is a little different, giving you the chance to use your skills on varied, hands-on fabrication work . You’ll be part of a small, close-knit team making high-quality outdoor products that customers rely on. If you enjoy variety, craftsmanship, and pride in your work , this is the place for you.

Schedule & Pay

• Full-time position (flexible hours available)

• Pay based on experience and welding skill level

How to Apply

Submit your resume and a brief description of your welding/fabrication experience.
