The posting

Overview

We’re hiring a Shift Lead - Fabricator / Welder for our custom metal fabrication shop serving commercial and industrial projects throughout the Nashville region.

This is a fabricator-first leadership role where you’ll read blueprints, lay out parts, fit complex weldments, and perform MIG welding on custom builds while helping lead the 2nd shift. We’re looking for someone who brings strong fabrication and blueprint experience to the floor and can serve as a steady, dependable presence for the team.

You’ll help set the pace within your production pod, maintain quality standards, catch issues before they become problems, and keep projects moving from layout through final fabrication. Along with producing quality work yourself, you’ll help drive tempo, accountability, and output across the shift by keeping priorities clear and helping the team stay productive and on track.

What Makes This Opportunity Great

  • Build, Don’t Just Weld: Flex your fabrication skills through blueprint reading, layout, fitting, welding, and quality verification on custom projects.
  • Lead Your Work: Help drive quality within your production pod and take ownership of keeping builds moving.
  • Choose Your Income: Work unlimited optional overtime when you want it, or enjoy a dependable 3- or 4-day workweek when you don’t.
  • Strong Schedule Options: Choose between a four-day weekday schedule or a three-day weekend shift.
  • Direct Hire: Join the company on day one with long-term stability and full benefits.
  • Grow With Us: Earn a guaranteed 90-day performance review with the opportunity for a raise.

We’re looking for experienced fabricators who enjoy blueprint-driven custom work and take pride in building quality products from the ground up.

  • Production Coordination: Help keep priorities clear, identify bottlenecks or fabrication issues early, and keep projects moving through the shop.
  • Layout: Lay out parts accurately from fabrication blueprints.
  • Fitting: Fit and tack assemblies before final welding.
  • MIG Welding: Weld tubing, plate, and structural assemblies.
  • Inspection: Verify dimensions using measuring tools before final completion.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
