Fabricator Jobs in British Columbia

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.

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.
