Piece Work Jobs in Tennessee (NOW HIRING)

Custom Architectural Welder & Fabricator – Premium Stairs, Railings & Metalwork

Location: Nashville, TN Area

Pay: $25–$40/hr based on experience (with overtime + skill-based bonuses – consistent full-time hours available!)

We're growing! With a brand-new shop expansion underway, we're adding **2–3 more talented team members** to handle our increasing volume of high-end, showcase-quality projects. Think stunning floating staircases, elegant spiral and mono-stringer designs, sleek glass and cable railings, ornate metal railings, and one-of-a-kind architectural metal features for luxury residences and upscale commercial builds.

What You'll Do Day-to-Day:

- Perform precise MIG welding (short-arc and spray) on mild steel, stainless, and aluminum for railings, stringers, and custom pieces

- Assemble, fit, tack, and complete weldments using detailed blueprints or shop drawings

- Grind, smooth, and prepare surfaces for flawless powder coat or mirror-polish finishes

- Layout and build intricate angles, curves, radii, and complex geometries for stairs and railings

- Run essential shop machinery: shear, press brake, ironworker, band saws, and standard fab tools

- Handle occasional site visits for measurements, deliveries, or installs (field/construction background is a bonus)

Must-Have Skills & Traits:

- Solid track record in custom or architectural welding/fabrication (experience with stairs & railings is a big plus)

- Clean, high-quality MIG beads on steel; stainless and aluminum a big plus – consistency matters

- Confident blueprint reading and precise layout for challenging angles and measurements

- Dependable, focused on details, professional attitude, and strong work ethic (show up on time, ready every day)

Skills That Set You Apart (and Boost Your Rate/Priority):

- TIG experience on stainless or aluminum and other exotic metals

- Deep understanding of stair design – floating systems, mono-stringers, complex geometry

- Real-world install experience (we handle our own field installs)

- Woodworking knowledge or ability to assemble metal/wood treads – we run an in-house wood shop, so if you're primarily a welder but open to helping out with wood tasks during slower fab periods, that's perfect too!

- Bilingual (English/Spanish) – ¡Hablamos español y damos la bienvenida a todos!

What You Get:

- Top-tier competitive pay, direct deposit on a weekly basis

- Paid holidays (after 90 days)

- 1 week paid vacation (after 1 year)

- Steady, year-round work with no seasonal slowdowns

- Team-oriented shop that values quality craftsmanship and pride in every project

Not fully at senior/lead level yet? No problem – we're also bringing on **fitters, finishers/grinders, install assistants, and wood shop helpers**. Please mention “Helper/Entry-Level Position” when you apply.
