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:
- Tape measure, square, levels
- Grinders and cutting tools
- 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
- Overhead bridge crane
- Team-oriented environment with a focus on quality and accountability
What Success Looks Like
- Assemblies are square, aligned, and within tolerance before welding
- Welders are set up for success with clean, consistent fit-up
- Minimal rework due to alignment or prep issues
- Strong communication and teamwork with welders and supervisors
Growth Opportunity
This role is a strong path into:
- Welding (if desired)
- Lead fitter / fabrication lead
- Production leadership roles
Additional Opportunities
We are also hiring structural welders (full-time and project-based).
If you have welding experience or want to grow into welding, let us know.
NOTE: Applications without thoughtful responses to screening questions will not be considered.
Benefits:
- Paid time off
- Professional development assistance
- Referral program
