Description

The primary purpose of the role is to fabricate parts for structural fabrication, the Service Center, and miscellaneous steel assemblies according to cutting lists, shop drawings, and Drake‑Williams Steel quality requirements.

Key duties include identifying steel shapes, sizes, and mill tolerances; fabricating beams, tubes, angles, channels, bars, grating, pipe, plate, or round stock to the dimensions shown on cut lists and shop drawings while observing AISC code requirements; adjusting machines for accuracy; spotting and reporting cutting‑list or drawing discrepancies; operating forklifts, jib and overhead cranes, conveyors, and transfers; and completing any other tasks assigned by management. Attendance at required meetings and reliable adherence to scheduled hours are also expected.
