Build Something You Can Be Proud Of.
If you're the type of welder who takes pride in turning raw steel into a finished product, this isn't another production welding job.
We're looking for a skilled Welder/Fabricator to join a well-established, family-owned manufacturer that has been building custom heavy-duty truck equipment for over 50 years. Every project is different, every build matters, and your craftsmanship will be visible on trucks operating throughout the Northeast.
From reading blueprints to laying out material and completing final welds, you'll play a hands-on role in creating high-quality custom equipment that customers rely on every day.
What We Offer
$18-$25/hr based on experience
Performance bonus opportunities
Two merit increases annually
Company-paid health insurance
401(k) with company match
Up to 3 weeks PTO
6 paid holidays
Paid summer shutdown
Uniforms provided
Tool discounts
Stable first-shift schedule with weekends off
Long-term career growth with a company that values skilled tradespeople
What You'll Be Doing
- Perform MIG, TIG, and Stick welding on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum
- Fabricate custom truck bodies, equipment, and components from raw materials
- Read and interpret blueprints, weld symbols, and engineering drawings
- Cut, fit, bend, and assemble materials to exact specifications
- Operate fabrication equipment including press brakes, shears, plasma cutters, and oxy-acetylene torches
- Complete layouts, measurements, and shop math calculations to ensure precision
- Perform equipment maintenance and quality inspections
- Work alongside a skilled team dedicated to craftsmanship, safety, and quality
What We're Looking For
Experience with MIG, TIG, and Stick welding
Strong fabrication skills and ability to work from blueprints
Experience with metal forming, fitting, cutting, and assembly
Knowledge of fabrication equipment and shop tools
Strong attention to detail and pride in producing quality work
Ability to work independently and contribute to a team environment
AWS Certification is a plus, but not required
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is not repetitive production welding. You'll work on custom fabrication projects, solve real challenges, and see your work come to life from start to finish. If you're looking for a company that values craftsmanship, offers excellent benefits, and provides long-term stability, we'd love to speak with you.
- Apply today and put your welding and fabrication skills to work with a company where quality comes first and employees stay for the long haul.
- Experience performing preventive maintenance on welding and fabrication equipment.
- Capability to work independently on custom builds while meeting safety and quality requirements.
Additional Skills & Qualifications
- AWS welding certification preferred.
- Demonstrated attention to detail and commitment to quality craftsmanship.
- Ability to work effectively in a collaborative shop environment.
- Comfort handling large metal components and operating heavy fabrication equipment.
Why Work Here?
You will join a long-established, family-owned organization with over 50 years of stability and a strong commitment to employee well-being. The company offers competitive compensation, performance bonuses, and two annual merit increases, along with company-paid health insurance and a 401(k) match to support your financial security. You can earn up to three weeks of paid time off, enjoy six paid holidays, and benefit from a summer shutdown that promotes work-life balance. A first-shift schedule with weekends off supports a predictable routine, while tool discounts and provided uniforms help you perform at your best. You will also have the chance to work on unique custom fabrication projects that create a visible impact throughout the Northeast, contributing to a sense of pride in the work you do.
Work Environment
The role is based in a clean, well-organized fabrication and welding shop that emphasizes safety, quality, and craftsmanship. Team members build custom heavy-duty truck equipment and components using a range of welding and fabrication techniques and equipment, including MIG, TIG, and Stick processes, press brakes, shears, plasma cutters, and oxy-acetylene torches. The position follows a first-shift schedule, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, providing consistent daytime hours with weekends off. Work involves handling large metal components and operating fabrication machinery in a collaborative shop setting where uniforms are provided and safety practices are integral to daily operations.
