Special Operations Fabricator
SCHEDULE/LOCATION OF WORK
10-Hour days, 4 days per week (Monday - Thursday)
Facility in Rosenort, MB (35 mins south of Winnipeg
ABOUT THE ROLE:
The Special Operations Fabricator is a key contributor to short-line manufacturing, R&D projects, prototype builds, and limited market releases. This position requires a highly adaptable tradesperson with strong welding and fabrication expertise, capable of operating diverse equipment such as plasma tables, bandsaws, forming presses, and manual machining tools.
Success in this role requires problem-solving in dynamic environments where documentation may be incomplete, priorities shift quickly, and engineering gaps must be identified and addressed. Acting as a bridge between production and engineering, the Fabricator ensures high-quality builds while providing valuable feedback to enhance manufacturability, safety, and efficiency.
KEY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBLITIES
- Fabricate and assemble steel components, structures, and equipment for one-off jobs, prototype builds, limited production runs, and repair projects.
- Read, interpret, and adapt from mechanical drawings, blueprints, sketches, or incomplete documentation to achieve the required outcomes.
- Perform precise measurements and accurate layouts to ensure proper fit-up, alignment, and dimensional accuracy.
- Manage welding-related challenges such as heat input, distortion control, and tolerance stack-up while maintaining squareness and structural integrity.
- Communicate effectively and work independently or as part of a collaborative team.
- Work closely with engineering, production, and other departments to identify design issues, suggest improvements, and provide feedback on manufacturability.
- Document changes, adjustments, and lessons learned to support continuous improvement and knowledge transfer.
- Adapt to changing priorities in a dynamic environment involving R&D, repair work, and small-scale production.
- Follow all safety procedures, quality standards, ISO requirements, and housekeeping practices.
SKILLS AND ABILITIES
- Strong mechanical aptitude with proven problem-solving and root cause analysis skills.
- Expertise in MIG welding and related techniques, with ability to fabricate complex assemblies to specification.
- Proficiency with fabrication and machining equipment including plasma table, bandsaw, forming press, and manual mill/lathe.
- Ability to interpret and adapt from technical drawings, blueprints, or incomplete documentation.
- Skilled in safe and effective use of hand and power tools (drills, grinders, sanders, torque wrenches, etc.).
- High attention to detail, with ability to maintain accuracy, fit, and finish standards across unique and complex builds.
- Ability to maintain accuracy, focus, and quality standards in a fast-paced, changing work environment.
- Basic computer skills for recording job costing, data entry, and KPI tracking.
EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE
- Minimum Level II Welder certification with demonstrated ability to handle complex welding and fabrication tasks.
- Proven experience in welding and fabrication, including blueprint interpretation and the use of hand/power tools.
- Experience in short-line, prototype, repair, or R&D fabrication environments considered a strong asset.
- Familiarity with ISO standards or similar quality management systems preferred.
- Technical diploma or certification in welding, machining, or a related trade an asset.
PHYSICAL DEMANDS
- Ability to lift and maneuver components and materials up to 50 lbs unassisted.
- Physical stamina to perform fabrication tasks in varied positions (standing, kneeling, bending, climbing, crawling).
- Comfortable working in environments with welding heat, fumes, vibration, and high noise levels.
- Ability to work at heights when required.
- Must be able to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as welding helmets (PAPR), gloves, and protective clothing for extended periods.
