Fabricator III

At Jered, a PAR Systems Company and leader in engineered solutions for naval and maritime systems, our Fabrication team plays a critical role in producing high-quality components and assemblies for heavy industrial and marine products. We are looking for an experienced Fabricator III who brings strong technical expertise, independent problem-solving skills, and proficiency across multiple fabrication and welding processes.
In this role, you'll independently perform complex fabrication and welding activities across a variety of assemblies, processes, and materials. You'll interpret engineering drawings, establish fit-up and welding sequences, maintain dimensional accuracy, and ensure work meets qualified welding procedures and applicable customer requirements. You'll also collaborate with Manufacturing, Quality, and Engineering to resolve technical challenges while supporting the development of less experienced fabricators.

Success Criteria:
As a Fabricator III, you'll spend most of your time independently fabricating varied and complex assemblies while maintaining consistent first-pass quality, dimensional accuracy, and controlled rework. You'll interpret complex drawings, tolerances, weld symbols, and inspection requirements to establish effective fit-up and welding sequences. You'll perform qualified welding across multiple relevant processes or materials, control distortion, and verify critical dimensions to ensure finished components meet established specifications.

The most successful team members demonstrate strong technical judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to troubleshoot fabrication and quality challenges. You'll identify estimating, material, and documentation issues early, manage labor against established work plans, and coordinate with Quality and Engineering when technical requirements conflict. You'll also assist developing fabricators by sharing your knowledge and supporting consistent workmanship across the team.

Success in this role means demonstrating independent, multi-process fabrication capabilities on work representative of this level, beyond routine production assignments. Your performance will be evaluated through quality acceptance, progress against planned labor, safe work practices, workplace organization, attendance, and overall workmanship, with documented circumstances outside your control taken into consideration.

Qualifications:

Meet the required qualifications and demonstrate the technical skills of Fabricator II and all preceding Fabricator levels, applying these cumulative skills within the assigned fitting, welding, or combined discipline
High school diploma or GED, or equivalent demonstrated trade capability
4 or more years of relevant fabrication or welding experience typically expected, or equivalent demonstrated capability
Proficiency across multiple relevant welding processes and materials
Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings, tolerances, weld symbols, and inspection requirements
Experience with dimensional control, welding documentation, and troubleshooting fabrication processes
Ability to pass and maintain welding qualifications applicable to assigned work
Demonstrated capability in assigned high-yield steel work, silver brazing, and 6061 aluminum fabrication
Ability to support welding procedure improvements and cross-functional problem-solving efforts
Ability to meet applicable customer and site access requirements
Ability to demonstrate proficiency in assigned fitting, welding, or combined fabrication responsibilities, with welding qualifications applicable to employees assigned welding work
Ability to work safely in active fabrication environments while following approved welding procedures, lifting and rigging practices, and required PPE standards
Ability to perform assigned work involving standing, walking, bending, and handling tools and materials, with applicable accommodations

Preferred Qualifications:

Technical trade training in welding, fabrication, or a related field
Experience working with heavy industrial, defense, or marine products
Additional welding qualifications relevant to assigned work
Experience working with specialized materials
Familiarity with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
Experience using precision measurement equipment
Crane operation or rigging skills relevant to assigned work
