Precision Steel Fabrication Welder

At Milo Live, we engineer and build live fire training systems, modular shooting ranges, and custom HVAC solutions used across the nation. With 120 modular installations and 500 fixed-site projects delivered, our North Las Vegas operation blends high-end metal fabrication with precision manufacturing to create equipment trusted by military and public safety professionals.

What a day looks like

You arrive at our North Las Vegas facility and review shop drawings for a new steel frame assembly. You select the appropriate process for the metallurgy involved—MIG on one assembly, TIG on a precision joint, and stick for a heavy structural seam—then set up your machine, fixtures, and aids. Using micrometers and calipers, you verify tolerances, weld out the frame, finish to spec, and log quality checks. You’ll move workpieces by forklift, flag improvement ideas to the team, and wrap up with a final inspection to ensure safety and performance standards are met.
