Build the Equipment That Keeps Water Moving

At Xylem, our fabrication team plays a critical role in delivering the custom equipment and infrastructure that support essential water and dewatering operations across North America. As a Fabricator, you'll transform engineering drawings into high-quality finished products by cutting, fitting, welding, and assembling custom equipment, structural components, piping systems, and mobile dewatering solutions. If you take pride in craftsmanship, enjoy solving fabrication challenges, and want to see the finished result of your work, this is an opportunity to make a tangible impact every day.

Equipment Operation

  • Safely operate fabrication equipment including plasma cutters, oxy-fuel torches, band saws, drill presses, ironworkers, grinders, and other shop tools.
  • Utilize precision measuring instruments including tape measures, squares, calipers, and levels.
  • Perform routine equipment inspections and basic maintenance.
  • Report mechanical issues and equipment concerns promptly.

Quality & Safety

  • Inspect completed welds, assemblies, and fabricated components to ensure compliance with specifications and engineering drawings.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.
  • Follow all safety policies and properly utilize required PPE.
  • Participate in continuous improvement initiatives focused on safety, quality, efficiency, and productivity.

Team Collaboration

  • Partner with supervisors, engineers, and fellow team members to resolve fabrication challenges and improve processes.
  • Support field modifications, repairs, and special projects as needed.
  • Contribute to a collaborative team culture focused on craftsmanship and operational excellence.

🎯 What We're Looking For

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.
