About the role
- Panelmatic Inc. is seeking a dedicated and skilled Fitter Welder.
- Combination Welder/Fitters progress through defined tiers (I-III) based on demonstrated drawing comprehension, layout and fit-up accuracy, weld quality, and independence.
Responsibilities
- The Fitter Welder owns the complete build of a base - from drawing review and material layout through fit-up, welding, floor plate, and final inspection.
- Combination Welder/Fitters are the primary staffing unit for each fabrication line and are expected to identify and correct their own discrepancies before a base is considered complete.
Requirements
- Welding Test Required****
- This is a dual-skill classification: the employee must be able to read and execute the drawing package as a fitter and produce sound, code-quality welds as a welder.
- The defining expectation of this role is the ability to take a drawing package and independently produce a finished, inspection-ready base without step-by-step direction.
- Grind welds smooth where required by the drawing or work instructions.
- Complete all required welds and attachments.
Nice to have
- Drawing & BOM Identification Review and understand the drawing package before beginning work.
- Identify the Bill of Materials (BOM) and locate all required components.
- Identify the steel/material type, size, quantity, and weight, and verify they match the drawing and BOM.
- Identify and understand standard weld symbols, weld sizes and dimensions, drawing notes, general dimensions and tolerances, and miscellaneous parts and components shown in the drawing package.
- Material Layout & Preparation Verify material before fabrication.
- Drill holes according to the dimensions and notes provided in the drawing package.
- Cut channel and other material as required to match the drawing.
- Properly identify and prepare the floor plate.
