What are the responsibilities and job description for the Structural Steel Fabricator / Welder position at Battle Born Welding?
Battle Born Welding is hiring an experienced structural steel fabricator/welder to build and install the bones of real buildings — beams, columns, and structural frames. This is a hands-on position for a professional who can take a set of prints, fabricate to spec in the shop, and then set that steel in the field. If you take pride in work that has to be right the first time, we want to talk to you.
About Us
Battle Born Welding is a structural steel fabrication and installation company based in Gardnerville, Nevada. We fabricate in our shop and install on job sites around the region, traveling in company trucks. We run a tight, professional crew and a four-day schedule: Monday through Thursday, 6:30 AM to 5:00 PM — three-day weekends, every week.
What You'll Do
- Fabricate structural steel beams, columns, and related members to spec in the shop
- Read and interpret structural drawings, shop drawings, and weld symbols — and fabricate accurately from them
- Fit, weld, grind, and finish structural members, and inspect your own welds for quality
- Install structural steel on job sites, including rigging and setting steel with cranes — signaling operators, landing loads, plumbing and bolting up members
- Travel to job sites in company trucks and represent the company professionally in front of GCs and clients
- Work safely, every day — in the shop, on the road, and in the air
What We're Looking For
Required:
- Proven professional experience in structural steel fabrication — beams and columns, not just light gauge or ornamental work
- Strong print reading: structural and shop drawings, weld symbols, dimensions, and tolerances
- Field installation experience setting structural steel with cranes — rigging, signaling, bolting, and plumbing steel
- Solid structural welding skills (flux-core / stick / MIG) with welds that pass inspection
- Valid driver's license and a reliable, safety-first work ethic
Nice to have:
- AWS D1.1 certification or ability to pass a structural weld test
- Forklift, telehandler, or aerial lift experience; rigging/signal person qualification
