Location: Lower Mainland / British Columbia
Compensation: $30.00 – $45.00+ / hour (commensurate with experience)
Benefits: Extended Group Health & Dental Benefits | RRSP Matching Program | Career Growth Opportunities

About the Opportunity

We are seeking a skilled and passionate Fabricator / Welder on behalf of a premier, well-established structural steel fabrication and erection contractor in British Columbia.

As a Fabricator / Welder in their expanding Fabrication Division, you will play a key role in assembling, fitting, and fabricating custom steel components and structural assemblies. This is an engaging, hands-on shop role ideal for a technician who takes pride in precision layout, blueprint interpretation, and high-standard welding.

Key Responsibilities

  • Layout & Fabrication: Read and interpret structural steel shop drawings, blueprints, and welding symbols to determine project specifications and tolerances.
  • Fitting & Assembly: Measure, layout, cut, and fit steel components accurately; perform rigging and position heavy structural assemblies for final welding.
  • Welding Operations: Perform high-quality Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) and Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) in accordance with shop standards and CWB specifications.

  • Experience: 2+ years of proven hands-on experience as a Metal Fabricator / Fitter / Welder in a structural or custom steel shop.
  • Welding Proficiency: Solid, hands-on experience with FCAW and GMAW processes. Experience operating a manual/handheld plasma cutter is required.
  • Blueprint Reading: Strong capability to read and work independently from detailed fabrication blueprints and engineering schematics.
  • Tools & Math: Proficient with layout tools, hand/power tools, precision calipers, and basic shop math/geometry for fabrication calculations.
  • Certifications (Assets): CWB tickets, Red Seal Metal Fabricator (Fitter) certification, or Journeyman Welder credentials are strong assets.
  • Bonus Skills: Valid forklift ticket/experience and exposure to basic machining or CNC mill operations are considered definite advantages.

Why Apply?

  • Competitive Pay: Generous hourly wage ranging from $30.00 to $45.00+ per hour , scaled directly to your fitting experience and ticketing.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Group extended health, vision, and dental insurance package.
  • Retirement Planning: Company-backed RRSP program.
  • Career Advancement: Opportunity to grow within a newly expanded, high-volume fabrication division alongside seasoned trade professionals.
