Job Description

Shape steel with accuracy. See the build come to life.

Step into a shop where precision meets purpose. As our Structural Steel Layout & Fit-Up Specialist, you’ll translate prints into reality—laying out, fitting, and assembling steel so welders can lock in final strength.

A day in the shop

You start by reviewing fabrication drawings and planning your layout. Through the day, you position beams and plates, confirm squareness and alignment, prep edges with grinders and an oxy-fuel torch, and team up with welders to ensure assemblies are ready to burn. You’ll move material with overhead cranes and forklifts, troubleshoot fit-up challenges, and keep production on pace—without compromising quality.
