Welder-Fitter / Metal Fabricator

MWS Solutions Inc. | Kitchener, ON $27-$38/hour based on experience

Are You Both a Strong Fitter and a Welder?

MWS Solutions is looking for an experienced Welder-Fitter / Metal Fabricator who can independently read drawings, fit assemblies, and weld structural and miscellaneous steel components to a high standard.

This is not a production welding position.

We are seeking someone who can take fabrication drawings and build finished products such as staircases, railings, platforms, mezzanines, and custom structural steel assemblies with minimal supervision.

If your experience is mainly production welding or operating a welding station without fitting and fabrication responsibilities, this position will not be the right fit.

What You'll Build

Our projects include

- Structural steel assemblies
- Staircases and stair systems
- Handrails and guardrails
- Platforms and access structures

What You'll Do

- Read and interpret fabrication drawings
- Perform layout, fitting, and assembly of steel components
- Fabricate directly from shop drawings with minimal supervision
- Weld using GMAW (MIG), MCAW, FCAW and GTAW (TIG) processes
- Verify dimensions and maintain quality standards
- Operate fabrication equipment including:
- Ironworker
- Press brake
- Shear
- Plasma cutting equipment
- Oxy-fuel equipment
- Use overhead cranes and material handling equipment safely
