About Artificer Inc.
Artificer Inc. is an engineering and steel fabrication company. We are a custom job shop with CWB certification to CSA Standard W47.1, welding and fitting both carbon steel and stainless steel. Our customers are large corporations who trust us to manufacture high-quality products, always delivered on time.
The Opportunity
Our workload is growing and we require skillful Fitter/Welders to build a wide range of custom steel assemblies from drawings. The work changes from job to job, from small components to large structural and plate assemblies, in both production runs and one-off builds.
This is real fit-up work. You will lay out and fit assemblies square and to size, then weld them out. If you take satisfaction in a structure that goes together tight, measures right, and needs no rework, this is the job.
Core Responsibilities
- Read and interpret fabrication drawings and welding symbols, including complex multi-part assemblies
- Lay out, measure, and fit carbon steel and stainless steel components accurately to within 1/16"
- Set up work square and true, control fit-up gaps, and manage distortion through weld sequence
- Tack, fit, and weld out complete assemblies from start to finish using FCAW
- Move between different jobs and set up each new job correctly from the drawing
- Check your own work against the drawing before the part moves on
- Work safely with overhead cranes, slings, and material handling
What We Require
- Demonstrated fitting ability on structural or plate assemblies, not just welding beads on prepped joints
- Sound production welding in FCAW on carbon steel; stainless experience an asset
- Confident blueprint reading and tape measure accuracy to 1/16"
- Comfort working from drawings with limited supervision once the job is understood
- Ability to pass a fit-up and weld test as part of the hiring process
- Reliable: here every scheduled day, on time, with absences called in ahead of shift
