- Install and repair metal frameworks, structural supports, platforms, ductwork, piping, and related equipment components
- Measure, cut, install, remove, and replace industrial insulation materials on pipes, tanks, vessels, ductwork, and equipment
- Apply jacketing, sealants, and weatherproofing materials while maintaining a clean, organized, and safe work area

Requirements for Welder:
- At least five years of welding or fabrication experience in a manufacturing or custom fabrication environment
