Job Description

Spray‑Transfer MIG Sheet Metal Welder–Fabricator

Weekend opportunity: Friday–Sunday, 6:00 a.m.–6:30 p.m.

From print to precision

Picture this: you’re handed a detailed mechanical engineered drawing. You decide exactly where each weld belongs, how long it should be, and what size it must hit—then you execute with accuracy. You finish the piece to the required cosmetic standard, grinding and buffing until it looks as good as it measures. That’s the challenge and satisfaction of this role.

Your core mission

  • Build sheet metal weldments that meet dimensional specifications and appearance criteria
  • Determine weld locations, sizes, and lengths within allowed tolerances
  • Perform MIG welding on mild steel and stainless steel, including spray transfer applications
  • Conduct fitting tasks: coping, alignment, positioning, and squaring
  • Set up machines and adjust parameters in line with department manuals; fine tune voltage
  • Grind to remove material; complete surface finishing to spec
  • Read drawings and verify basic dimensions; inspect against complex engineered prints
  • Examine weld beads for acceptable attributes and overall quality
  • Identify metals (copper types, stainless grades) and apply appropriate techniques
  • Leverage knowledge of flux-core and shielded wire processes
  • Execute tack welding, stud welding, torch cutting, and arc metal gouging

Team, reporting, and interactions

  • Reports to: Department Supervisor
  • Partners with: Machine Operators, Welders, Painters, Material Handlers, Leadpersons, Supervisors
  • External contacts: N/A

What it takes to excel

  • 1–2 years of relevant hands-on experience
  • Basic English skills for written and verbal communication
  • Ability to perform hot work outside the department when needed
  • Finish grinding and surface finishing capability
  • Skill in repairing improper welds
  • Knowledge of fixtures relevant to your area
  • Proficiency with tack welding and stud welding
  • Comfort fine tuning voltage and other machine parameters
  • Ability to square parts accurately
  • Experience with torch cutting and arc metal gouging
  • Basic product knowledge to understand how your tasks support the overall build
  • Familiarity with AWS charts/steel tables and welding symbols
  • Proficient with shop tools: tape measure, squares, clamps, fillet gauge, angle finder, etc.
  • Ability to convert decimals to fractions and use conversion charts
  • Clear communication and strong teamwork
  • Awareness and adherence to Lock Out Tag Out procedures
  • Commitment to company operating procedures, safety rules, and ISO requirements

Environment and safety culture

You’ll work in a shop environment with constant exposure to typical shop elements. Safety is a shared responsibility: we emphasize prevention, provide protective equipment as necessary, and expect consistent adherence to safety practices and rules. PPE is required for this role.
