Fabricator Jobs

A Fabricator in the maintenance and installation industry is responsible for designing, creating, and assembling various parts and structures made from raw materials like metal, plastic, and more. They interpret blueprints, specifications, and diagrams to accurately manufacture and install parts or structures. Fabricators usually work with heavy machinery such as grinders, drill presses, and other cutting machines. They perform quality checks on finished products and repair any faults or discrepancies. Regular maintenance of equipment and complying with safety regulations and standards are also an integral part of their role.

Important skills for a Fabricator include mechanical skills, physical stamina, attention to detail, and the ability to read and interpret blueprints. They should also have good hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity. Some certifications that could be beneficial for a Fabricator include a Certification in Fabrication and Welding Technology, a Certificate in Sheet Metal Technology, or other relevant qualifications. Before becoming a Fabricator, a person may have roles such as a Machine Operator, a Welder, or an Apprentice in Fabrication.
