Schedule: 4x10s (Mon–Thurs) + optional overtime
Pay: $18–$24/hr (based on experience)
About the Role
We are a billboard manufacturing shop building large structural steel assemblies that are shipped and installed nationwide. We’re looking for a fitter/fabricator to support our welding team by preparing, aligning, and assembling components before welding. This role is critical to production quality. A good fitter ensures everything is square, aligned, and ready—so welders can execute clean, consistent welds.
What You’ll Do
· Read and interpret shop drawings
· Measure, mark, and lay out steel components accurately
· Fit and align structural assemblies (frames, columns, catwalks, supports)
· Tack weld components in preparation for final welding (if capable)
· Use tools such as:
o Tape measure, square, levels
o Grinders and cutting tools
o Torch (oxy-fuel) for cutting and adjustment
· Set up assemblies to minimize distortion during welding
· Work closely with welders to ensure proper fit-up and sequencing
· Verify dimensions and tolerances before welding begins
· Help move and position materials using shop equipment
What We’re Looking For
· Experience in fabrication, fitting, or general metalwork (2+ years preferred)
· Strong measuring and layout skills
· Ability to read and work from shop drawings
· Experience using grinders, torches, and fabrication tools
· Understanding of how fit-up affects weld quality
· Ability to lift 75 lbs and work on your feet
Nice to Have:
· Basic welding experience (MIG, flux core. Pipe, beam, angle or tack welding)
· Experience with structural steel assemblies
· Experience working in a fabrication or manufacturing shop (iron worker, hydraulic punch, magnetic drill, etc)
Work Environment
· Indoor fabrication shop (unconditioned, with airflow)
· Heavy steel assemblies and active production floor
· Team-oriented environment with a focus on quality and accountability
Growth Opportunity
This role is a strong path into:
· Welding (if desired)
· Lead fitter / fabrication lead
· Production leadership roles
