Fabricator / Welder - Aerospace & Defense Manufacturing MIG | TIG | GTAW | GMAW | FCAW | First & Second Shift | Industry-Leading 25% Night Shift Differential

Your Welds. Their Mission.

In defense and aerospace fabrication, the work you lay down witha torch isn't just metal joining metal - it's components that will go into platforms, systems, and equipment that people depend on. At GTC, our fabricators are craftspeople who take that seriously, weld to procedure every time, and hold themselves to a standard that goes beyond what the inspector is looking for. If that's how you work, this is where you belong.

And through our Ownership For All program, the quality you bring to the floor every day builds something that's partly yours. Every eligible full-time employee receives an ownership stake in GTC. From day one, you're not just joining a team. You're becoming an owner. Your wins aren't just good for the company. They're good for you.

Your Schedule. Your Choice. Your Premium Pay.

We built our shifts around real life, not the other way around. Days start between 5 and 6 AM - 10-hour shifts that get you home while the day still has plenty left in it. Nights kick off at 5 PM and come loaded with our industry-leading 25% night shift differential. Pick Monday through Friday at 8 or 10 hours, or Monday through Thursday at 10 or 12 hours. More flexibility, more earning power, and a schedule you actually choose.

Retirees, you're welcome here too - part-time schedules on days or nights are available, with a benefits package included.

What You'll Do

You'll weld metal components together to fabricate parts, products, and assemblies - working in strict accordance with Welding Procedure Specifications and each customer's workmanship standards. That means reading blueprints, working orders, and layouts, then executing with the consistency and skill that defense contracts demand.

You'll set up and operate shears, ironworkers, and cut-off saws to produce properly sized material, remove burrs and sharp edges using files, hand grinders, and wire brushes, and repair and reshape components using mechanical means with or without heat and hydraulic equipment. When a weld needs straightening, you find a way. When a process has waste in it, you spot it and say something.

You'll work closely with your supervisor, fellow fabricators, and quality personnel - communicating clearly, following instructions precisely, and bringing the kind of cooperative energy that makes the whole shop run better. When you finish your assignment, you don't wait around - you find the next thing that needs doing.

What You Bring

One to three years of MIG or TIG welding experience is the starting point. You can produce sound welds using GTAW, GMAW, or FCAW processes, read a blueprint, and work safely in a fabrication environment that includes welding fumes, grinding debris, overhead cranes, and the occasional tight space. A high school diploma or GED is required, as is U.S. citizenship.

This is physically demanding work. You'll be on your feet for the full duration of your shift, lifting and positioning materials up to 75 pounds, bending and kneeling around large fabrications, and working at various heights on ladders, scaffolding, and elevated platforms. Fine motor control, strong hands, good balance, and the discipline to wear your PPE correctly every day - welding helmet, respirator, safety harness when required - are all part of the job.

Why GTC

Work that demands genuine skill and rewards people who deliver it. Fabrication performed to AWS welding standards and military specifications - credentials that make your resume stronger with every hour you log here. Flexible shifts with real premium pay. A shop culture built on quality, safety, and people who take initiative. And through Ownership For All, a stake in the company your hands help build every single day. From day one, you're not just a fabricator here. You're an owner.

All applicants are considered based on experience and knowledge, without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, ancestry, marital status, disability, or veteran status. We are committed to a workplace free from discrimination and harassment.
