Job Summary

We are currently hiring a Journeyperson Metal Fabricator to supervise our weekend fabrication crew. The ideal candidate has a Red Seal or Certificate of Qualification in Metal Fabrication, and at least 3 years of experience in a charge-hand or supervisory role. Sheet Metal Workers and Welders with extensive fabrication experience may be considered, and are encouraged to apply.

A day in the life of a Fitter Supervisor in our fabrication shop will include overseeing the assignment of work tasks to welders, fabricators, and laborers on shift; coaching and mentoring apprentice tradespeople; ensuring all work is completed on time and to a high quality standard; and actively working to maintain a safe and respectful work environment.
