About the Job
D. G. Granade, Inc. is looking to hire two experienced steel fabricators/welders for an approximately four-week shop fabrication assignment.
The primary scope of work will be the layout, fabrication, and welding of steel handrails and guardrails for a current construction project.
This is not an entry-level welding position. We are looking for experienced fabricators who can read drawings, accurately lay out the work, cut and fit steel, and produce clean, consistent finished assemblies with minimal supervision.
At least one of the two positions requires a current welding certification applicable to the work being performed.
The Work
The work will primarily include:
- Read and work from construction drawings, details, and dimensions
- Lay out steel handrail and guardrail assemblies
- Measure, cut, fit, and prepare steel components
- Fabricate complete rail assemblies accurately to plan dimensions
- MIG and/or stick weld steel components as required
- Grind and finish welds where required for a clean finished product
- Maintain proper dimensions, alignment, and consistency between assemblies
- Check completed work for fit and accuracy
- Safely operate saws, grinders, welders, and other metal fabrication equipment
- Maintain an organized and productive shop work area
What We're Looking For
We need experienced steel fabricators who know how to build finished work, not simply someone who knows how to run a welder.
Qualified applicants should be comfortable with:
- Reading construction and fabrication drawings
- Steel layout and fabrication
- Accurate measuring and cutting
- Fitting components prior to welding
- Producing clean, consistent welds
- Fabricating repetitive assemblies while maintaining dimensional accuracy
- Working independently without constant supervision
- Safely operating standard welding and fabrication equipment
Previous experience fabricating handrails, guardrails, stairs, structural steel, or miscellaneous metals is strongly preferred.
One of the two hires must possess a current welding certification applicable to this work. Applicants with current certifications should identify their certification(s) when applying.
Position
- Temporary position – approximately 4 weeks
- Two positions available
- Full-time during the project
- Shop-based fabrication
- Immediate start
- Pay based on skill, experience, and applicable welding certifications
D. G. Granade, Inc. is an established Northern California general contractor. We expect our people to be organized, accountable, and consistent and to take pride in producing work that is accurate and ready to install.
To apply: Send your name, phone number, work history, description of your steel fabrication and welding experience, and any current welding certifications.
