• Read measurements, drawings, and project specifications and complete work accurately.
• Inspect completed fabrication work for proper fit, alignment, weld quality, and overall workmanship.
• Maintain a clean, organized work area and assist with other shop and container-production tasks as needed.
Qualifications
• Previous welding, metal fabrication, or structural steel experience.
• Proficient with MIG welding and comfortable welding mild steel.
• Ability to accurately read a tape measure and perform fabrication layout.
• Experience using grinders, saws, drills, cutting equipment, and common fabrication tools.
• Ability to work independently, solve problems, and complete projects without constant supervision.
• Dependable, punctual, safety-minded, and willing to work as part of a team.
• Able to perform physical shop work, including lifting, climbing, bending, and working inside and around shipping containers.
