Role Summary


We are hiring a Structural Steel Layout Fabricator with the experience and leadership potential to grow into a Shop Foreman role. This is not an entry-level welding position. You must be able to independently lay out structural steel accurately from drawings, maintain quality standards, and support production priorities in a working steel shop.


Do not apply unless you have 5+ years of structural steel layout experience in a fabrication shop.

Must-Haves (Non-negotiable)

  •  Can layout independently: centerlines, hole patterns, squareness/diagonals, handed parts
  •  Strong measuring/fit-up discipline (accuracy matters) 
  •  Reliable attendance and professional attitude 
Core Responsibilities


  •  Perform layout for structural steel assemblies: beams, columns, plates, embeds, base plates, misc steel as assigned 
  •  Mark, measure, square, and verify parts before fit-up/welding 
  •  Reduce rework through clean layout and strong checks 
  •  Coordinate with shop leadership on priorities and deadlines 
  •  Support training/leadership on the floor as needed (lead track) 
Preferred (Big Plus)


  •  Lead fabricator experience or foreman potential 
  •  Comfortable with common shop tools (mag drill, ironworker, saws, torch/grind) 
  •  Can catch drawing conflicts early and communicate them clearly 
What Success Looks Like


  •  Layouts are accurate and repeatable 
  •  Parts fit correctly the first time 
  •  Rework goes down; throughput goes up 
  •  Issues are communicated early with solutions
