We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Structural Metal Fitter to join our construction and fabrication team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for assembling, installing, and repairing structural metal components used in buildings, bridges, towers, and other infrastructure projects. This role requires a strong understanding of metalworking techniques, blueprints, and safety protocols.
As a Structural Metal Fitter, you will work closely with engineers, welders, and other construction professionals to ensure that metal structures are built to precise specifications. You will be expected to read and interpret technical drawings, measure and cut metal components, and use a variety of tools and machinery to fit and secure parts together. Attention to detail, physical stamina, and a commitment to safety are essential for success in this role.
Your day-to-day tasks will include positioning and aligning metal parts, bolting or welding them into place, and inspecting completed assemblies for accuracy and structural integrity. You may also be required to work at heights or in confined spaces, depending on the project. The ability to work independently and as part of a team is crucial.
This position offers the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, from commercial buildings to large-scale infrastructure developments. If you have a passion for construction, a strong work ethic, and the technical skills to match, we encourage you to apply for this rewarding and hands-on role.
