Welder Fabricator

**Fabricator / Welder / Mechanic – Heavy Equipment (NOT Production Work)

**

**Location:

** Elburn, IL

**Job Type:

** Full-time

**About the Role

**

This is NOT a production welding job.

We’re looking for someone who can fabricate, weld, and handle mechanical work on heavy equipment. This role is ideal for someone who doesn’t just want to weld parts—but wants to build, repair, and problem-solve complete machines.

You’ll be working on drill rigs, crawler carriers, trucks, trailers, and custom builds. Every job is different, and most require both fabrication and mechanical involvement.

If you’re looking to grow beyond welding into full equipment builds and repairs, this is a strong opportunity.

**What You’ll Do:

**

• Fabricate and weld components from prints and real-world layouts

• Fit, align, and assemble structural and mechanical components

• Perform mechanical work including:

• Disassembly/reassembly of components

• Installing hydraulic components, hoses, and fittings

• Assisting with equipment repairs and rebuilds

• Modify and repair equipment (cutting, grinding, straightening, rewelding)

• Operate MIG, TIG, plasma, and torch

• Work with the service team to complete jobs safely and on time

• Take ownership of jobs from start to finish

**What We’re Looking For

**

• 5+ years of fabrication/welding experience

• Strong mechanical aptitude (heavy equipment, trucks, or similar)

• Ability to read prints and work independently

• Experience with hydraulics is a strong plus

• Comfortable switching between welding and mechanical tasks

• Problem solver who can think through a job—not just follow instructions

• Reliable, self-motivated, and takes pride in their work

**Variety of work

** — no repetitive production welding
