About the Welder and Metal Fabricator Job
We are a growing Early Bronco chassis and parts shop, and we need welders and metal fabricators. You will build parts like our Early Bronco roll cage for 1966-1977 Ford Broncos.
We are hiring at two levels:
- Apprentice: a few years of welding or fabrication experience, and you want to learn our specialty from an experienced master welder and fabricator.
- Master: several years of TIG and MIG welding, plus strong fabrication and sheet metal skills.
At least 1 year of welding experience is preferred, and so are certifications. We provide the tools and on-the-job training in a fast-paced, climate-controlled shop.

What It Takes to Be a Fabricator Here
Laying a good weld bead is only about 35 to 40 percent of the job. The rest is cutting, grinding and shaping the part, and solving the problems that come up along the way. Every call in the shop weighs three things, in this order.
Safety
Follow every safety protocol and wear your PPE, for your sake and for the people working next to you.
Quality
Have the blueprint, fixture and sample piece on hand any time you build, so every part meets our standard.
Productivity
Own the problems you run into and find fixes. That is how the whole shop keeps getting better.
