Structural Fabrication Technician (Steel)

Job Description

Are you the technician who makes every millimeter count?

Picture this: you open a set of structural shop drawings, confirm the latest revision, and map the sequence that gets raw steel to a precise assembly. You verify heat numbers, align piece marks, and commit to quality before a single tack is placed. That’s the standard we’re after. Your mission

Turn 2D drawings into accurate steel assemblies by planning and executing the right order of operations.

Decode weld symbols and industry acronyms; confirm part orientation and finish codes.

Measure and lay out with tapes, squares, levels, and layout tools; mark clearly and consistently.

Tack weld with control; perform thermal cutting by oxy-fuel and/or plasma; grind to exact finish.

Keep the cell organized and safe while operating overhead cranes, welders, torches, and grinders.

Fabricate to AISC Quality Management System standards; self-inspect before QC steps in.

Escalate drawing or material discrepancies as soon as they appear. When you’ll work
