Welder Fabricator

Job Title

Sheet Metal Welder / Sheet Metal Worker

Job Overview

A Sheet Metal Welder combines the art of metal shaping with precise welding—fabricating, assembling, and installing thin metal components for equipment, structures, ductwork, enclosures, and more.

Core Duties & Responsibilities

Fabrication & Welding Tasks:

• Read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, schematics, and welding symbols to guide fabrication.
• Measure, cut, bend, shape, and assemble sheet metal using tools like shears, brakes, rollers, saws, and shears.
• Weld components using appropriate methods (MIG, TIG, spot, stick, arc), depending on material and specification.
• Support seams through riveting, bolting, soldering, or sealing applications where needed.

Quality Assurance & Inspection:

• Inspect welds and metal joints for strength, porosity, alignment, flatness, and finish.
• Use tools like calipers, micrometers, rulers, and retractors for precise measurements.
• Maintain clean work areas, restock materials, and ensure safe, orderly setups.

Machine & Tool Operation:

• Operate sheet metal machinery such as press brakes, guillotines, spot welders, band saws, shears, grinders, and power tools.
• Prepare weld joints using grinders, files, or torch machines—ensuring surfaces are clean and properly fitted.

Safety & Equipment Maintenance:

• Follow safety protocols; use appropriate PPE (e.g., helmets, gloves, goggles, respirators).
• Conduct preventive maintenance on welding and fabrication equipment.

Collaboration & Documentation:

• Coordinate with engineers, supervisors, or teams to ensure fabrication meets project goals.
• Document projects, report issues, complete QC checks, and track production records.

Skills & Qualifications

Technical Skills:

• Strong proficiency in welding methods: MIG, TIG, spot welding; optionally stick or flux-cored welding.
• Skilled in reading blueprints, CAD prints, drawings, and welding symbols.
• Experienced with sheet metal tools: brakes, shears, punches, grinders, saws.
• Attention to detail, manual dexterity, and ability to work precisely with thin-good metals.

Physical & Environmental Requirements

• Ability to work in various positions—standing for long periods, lifting (up to ~25 lbs), climbing scaffolds, kneeling, and reaching.
• Comfortable working in shop or field environments, sometimes at heights or confined spaces, with varying ventilation.
