  • Oversee and participate in the hands-on assembly of prototypes as well as production equipment.
  • Utilize fabrication equipment, such as welders, grinders, and saws, to assist in producing custom metal parts and assemblies.
  • Inspect completed parts using precision measurement tools (e.g., calipers, micrometers) to ensure they meet required tolerances and quality standards.
  • Collaborate with engineers and other team members to troubleshoot machining and fabrication issues and continuously improve processes.
  • Build custom fabrication projects by cutting, shaping, and assembling components according to project specifications.
  • Drive to learn new skills and practices to assist in building complex machinery.
  • Support efforts to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and optimize productivity across the shop.


Skills & Qualifications:

  • Minimum high school diploma or equivalent; Associates in Engineering Technology an ideal asset, but not necessary.
  • A minimum of 3 years of hands-on fabrication and welding experience.
  • Hands-on experience in metal fabrication, including primary welding processes, cutting, and grinding.
  • Proficiency in reading and interpreting complex engineering drawings and technical documents.
  • Excellent spatial visualization skills, understanding complex assemblies that require precise part fitment.
  • Skilled in the use of precision measuring instruments (calipers, micrometers, gauges, etc.) to ensure part/assembly accuracy.
  • Basic math skills for measurements and calculations.
  • Ability to perform both independently and collaboratively in a team-based environment.
  • Dedication to maintaining a safe work environment and producing high-quality results.
  • Experience with induction heating, high heat applications, and materials an asset.


Physical Requirements:

  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds.
