Welder / Fabricator – Aluminum Boat Builder
Job Overview
We are seeking skilled Welder/Fabricator to join our team building high-performance aluminum boats. This is not generic production welding—this role involves precision fabrication, structural assembly, and fit/finish work on premium marine vessels.
You will be part of a team constructing offshore and recreational boats from the ground up, including hulls, decks, and integrated components. The right candidate takes pride in clean welds, tight tolerances, and building a finished product.
Responsibilities
- Fabricate and assemble aluminum boat hulls, decks, and structural components
- Read and interpret marine drawings, hull layouts, and build plans
- Perform MIG and TIG welding on marine-grade aluminum (5083/5052)
- Fit and tack components prior to final welding to ensure proper alignment and finish
- Operate fabrication equipment including press brake, shear, router table, and saws
- Work with stringer systems, bulkheads, fuel tanks, and mounting structures
- Maintain high standards for weld appearance, distortion control, and weight management
- Collaborate with rigging and finishing teams to ensure proper integration of systems
- Follow shop safety procedures and maintain a clean, organized workspace
Skills & Qualifications
- Experience welding and fabricating aluminum (marine experience strongly preferred)
- Strong MIG welding skills; TIG is a plus
- Ability to read and work from detailed fabrication drawings
- Understanding of fit-up, sequencing, and distortion control
- Experience with press brake, cutting tools, and fabrication equipment
- Mechanical aptitude and ability to problem-solve during builds
- Forklift and rigging experience is a plus
- Strong attention to detail—this is a finished product environment, not rough structural work
