Custom Welding Jobs in Tennessee (NOW HIRING)

Overview

We are seeking skilled Welder / Fabricators to join our dynamic manufacturing team.This is a direct-hire role from Day 1, offering full benefits, multiple shift options, and long-term job security right out of the gate.

In this role, you will fabricate high-end metal details, complex weldments, and architectural facade products. This is a custom manufacturing environment, not a repetitive assembly line-you will have the opportunity to build highly visible, high-impact work that you can be proud of.

This is a blueprint-heavy role where you will rely on engineering drawings to guide your work. Your primary focus will be on MIG welding-specifically working on flat parts, tubing, and structural assemblies-alongside general custom fabrication. While strong MIG and fabrication skills are the core of this job, any TIG welding experience you bring to the table is a fantastic bonus.

Compensation

• $25 - $27 / hr
• Shift differential on 2nd and weekend

Shift

• 1st shift: 5am-4:30pm M-Th
• 2nd shift: 5pm-4:30am M-Th
• Weekend shift: 5am-5pm F-Sun

Benefits

• Health, vision, dental
• 401(k) + match
• PTO

Responsibilities:

• Execute Precision MIG Welding - Perform high-quality MIG welding, heavily focusing on flat parts, tubing, and structural components. You must be able to adapt to a variety of thicknesses and positions. (TIG welding experience is a strong plus!)
• Fabricate Architectural Metals & Facades - Interpret engineering drawings, weld symbols, bills of materials, and diagrams to accurately layout, fit, and fabricate complex structural weldments and facade components.
• Ensure High-End Finish Quality - Because much of our work is visible (architectural), you must produce clean welds and utilize grinders/finish tools to meet strict aesthetic specifications.
• Operate Fabrication Tools and Equipment - Utilize handheld tools (grinders, weld stud guns) and heavy machinery (forklifts, overhead cranes) to manipulate large metal components safely and efficiently.
• Perform In-Process Quality Inspections - Use calipers, weld gauges, tape measures, and other precision tools to verify geometric accuracy; identify defects early and rework as needed to meet specifications.
• Maintain Equipment and Work Area - Perform preventative maintenance on weld machines, create specific setups/fixtures for unique builds, and keep the workspace clean and safe.
• Model Professional Shop Behavior - Work effectively in a team environment, respect all teammates, and demonstrate self-motivation and high attention to detail.

Requirements

Qualifications:

Required

• High School Diploma or GED
• 3-5 years of experience as a metal fabricator
• Strong proficiency in MIG welding (specifically flat parts, tubing, and structural welding)
• Strong ability to read and interpret blueprints, weld symbols, and technical instructions
• Physical ability to lift 30-50 lbs regularly and perform repetitive tasks/manual dexterity work
• Ability to operate a forklift and overhead crane

Preferred Skills

• TIG welding experience is highly preferred
• Basic computer navigation and utilization skills
• Experience in architectural metals, custom manufacturing, or job-shop environments
• Certification in welding or fabrication technology

The Ideal Candidate

• MIG & Fabrication Expert - You are highly capable with MIG welding on structural parts and tubing. If you also know how to TIG weld, even better!
• Blueprint-Driven Builder - You can translate complex weld symbols and drawings into clean, accurate assemblies and catch dimensional issues before they become rework. You are highly comfortable doing blueprint-heavy work.
• Architectural Eye - You understand that in facade work, the finish matters. You take pride in clean beads, precise fit-up, and top-tier fabrication.
• Reliable Team Player - You bring energy to the floor, communicate clearly with management, and respect the safety and workflow of your fellow teammates.
