Our client is an established engineering and manufacturing company with more than 40 years of experience designing and fabricating highly engineered process systems. Every project is custom. Every build is different. You'll play a key role in delivering high-quality fabrication projects safely, on schedule, and to the highest standards. 

What You'll Do

• Lead and develop a team of approximately 10 to 20 fabricators and welders
• Plan and schedule daily shop production
• Review fabrication drawings and work packages
• Coordinate manpower, materials, and equipment
• Maintain high standards for quality, safety, and productivity
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives throughout the fabrication shop
• Coach and mentor fabrication personnel
• Partner with Engineering, Project Management, Purchasing, and Assembly teams
• Deliver projects on schedule while managing labor budgets and production goals 

Qualifications

• 10+ years of hands-on steel fabrication experience
• 5+ years leading fabrication teams in a manufacturing environment
• Strong blueprint reading and fabrication layout skills
• Experience with MIG, TIG, Flux-Core, and structural welding processes
• Experience fabricating tanks, skids, piping, structural steel, pressure vessels, or other custom industrial equipment
• Knowledge of AWS and ASME fabrication standards
• Strong leadership, planning, and organizational skills
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Excel, Outlook, Word, and Teams

Preferred qualifications:

• Bilingual English and Spanish
• Experience leading custom fabrication rather than high-volume production environments
