What are the responsibilities and job description for the Welder/Fabricator position at Unique Custom Design?
The Job
We've got the work booked — now we need a solid hand on the tools. Unique Custom Design is hiring a full-time Welder/Fabricator who can take a shop drawing and turn it into a finished, install-ready piece that looks as good as it holds.
About Us
We're an architectural and structural metal fabrication shop based in Toledo, WA, serving the whole Pacific Northwest. We build floating staircases, structural steel stairs, stainless handrail and guardrail packages, steel canopies, and feature gates for high-end homes and commercial projects, including schools. Everything we build is custom and built to drawings.
What You'll Do
- Read shop drawings and build from them — layout, cutting, fitting, and tacking stairs, handrails, guardrails, and misc metals
- MIG and TIG weld carbon steel and stainless to a clean, finish-ready standard
- Check your work against the drawings — dimensions, square, and angles — before it leaves the shop
- Grind and prep welds for powder coat or galvanizing
- Help load, deliver, and install on job sites
- Keep your station clean, organized, and safe
What You Need
- Hands-on experience in a structural, architectural, or custom fab shop
- Able to read shop drawings and work from them without hand-holding
- Clean, consistent MIG and TIG welds
Nice to Have
- TIG on stainless, especially architectural or polished finish work
- Stair and railing experience — stringers, pipe rail, pickets, miters
- WABO or AWS D1.1 certification
- Field install experience
- Valid driver's license
Why Unique
- Custom, high-end work — real craftsmanship, not repetitive production
- A growing shop where your work matters and your input gets heard
- Work directly with the owner, a Red Seal certified fabricator
Good to Know
- This is physical work — heavy material, grinding, and long stretches on your feet
- Delivery and install days mean early starts and drive time to job sites around Western Washington
How to Apply
Apply here on Indeed. If it looks like a fit, we'll reach out to set up a shop visit and a hands-on weld test — bring photos of your past work.
