Position Overview

The Lead Fitter / Fabricator is responsible for laying out, fitting, and assembling structural steel according to approved shop drawings.

This position requires someone who can take a set of drawings and parts and turn them into an accurate, weld-ready assembly with minimal supervision.

You must be able to understand piece marks, part marks, member orientation, dimensions, connection details, elevations, hole locations, copes, and assembly requirements.

As a lead fitter, you will also help set the standard for quality and productivity and assist less-experienced fitters and fabricators when needed.

The right person understands that accurate layout and fit-up are critical to keeping fabrication, welding, QC, and shipping moving efficiently.

Responsibilities

• Read and interpret structural steel shop drawings and fabrication details
• Lay out, fit, square, tack, and assemble structural steel members
• Fit beams, columns, base plates, cap plates, stiffeners, clips, angles, channels, embeds, stairs, and miscellaneous steel
• Verify dimensions before and during assembly
• Verify hole locations, copes, plates, orientation, and connection details
• Identify and organize parts using piece marks and part marks
• Confirm assemblies match the correct erection and shipping marks
• Check material and parts before beginning an assembly
• Catch missing parts, incorrect dimensions, drawing conflicts, or fit-up issues before they create production delays
• Prepare completed assemblies for welding
• Coordinate with welders, QC, shop leads, and production management
• Maintain accurate and consistent fit-up quality
• Help keep assigned work organized and moving through production
• Assist with troubleshooting fabrication and fit-up issues
• Train and support less-experienced fitters and fabricators
• Maintain a clean and organized work area
• Follow company safety, quality, and production standards

Requirements

• Structural steel fitting/fabrication experience required
• Strong ability to read and understand structural steel shop drawings
• Strong layout and tape-measure skills
• Must understand structural steel fit-up, squaring, tack-up, and assembly
• Must understand piece marks, part marks, member orientation, and fabrication details
• Must be able to work accurately with limited supervision
• Experience fabricating beams and columns required
• Experience with stairs, rails, embeds, and miscellaneous metals preferred
• Must be able to identify fit-up or drawing problems before assemblies reach welding
• Must be dependable and organized
• Must be able to work in a fast-paced structural steel fabrication environment
• Must communicate effectively with shop leadership, welders, and QC
• Ability to help train and lead less-experienced employees
• Welding experience is preferred, but this position is primarily focused on fitting and fabrication

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for a true structural steel fitter/fabricator who takes ownership of their work and takes pride in producing accurate assemblies.

This is not a helper position and not just a welding position.

We need someone who can look at a shop drawing, identify the correct material and parts, lay out the member, fit the assembly, verify the dimensions, and confidently send it to welding knowing it is right.

The ideal candidate understands that a strong fitter doesn't just assemble steel—they help prevent mistakes, eliminate rework, and keep the entire shop moving.
