As Director of Fabrication and Assembly, you will play a key leadership role in building, scaling, and operating metal fabrication and industrial equipment assembly capabilities within our state-of-the-art facility. You will lead a team of talented welders, fabricators, and assembly personnel to bring both simple and complex projects to life by manufacturing frames, structures, hoppers, complex tanks, and assembling industrial production equipment using the best tools available.

As the Director, you will have P&L responsibility for this area of the company.  

Essential Functions

In addition to applying advanced welding, fabrication, and equipment assembly expertise, you will oversee fabrication planning, assembly planning, capacity management, scheduling, quality control, and cost performance. You will regularly support and troubleshoot fabrication processes involving welding (MIG, TIG, stick), forming, and structural fabrication. You will partner closely with engineering and operations teams to ensure fabricated components meet design, safety, and performance requirements. You will also stay current on new welding and fabrication technologies, materials, codes, and industry best practices through professional journals, technical publications, and industry networks.

Supervisory Duties

This position leads supervisors, skilled trades, welders, fabricators, and assembly teams using servant leadership principles. You are responsible for the overall direction, coordination, and evaluation of welding, fabrication processes, and assembly methods, and you will work closely with other site leaders to ensure alignment with plant startup, production, and long-term operational goals.
