Custom Architectural Welder & Fabricator - Premium Stairs, Railings & Metalwork
Location: Nashville, TN Area
Pay: $25-$40/hr based on experience (with overtime + skill-based bonuses - consistent full-time hours available!)
We're growing! With a brand-new shop expansion underway, we're adding 2-3 more talented team members to handle our increasing volume of high-end, showcase-quality projects. Think stunning floating staircases, elegant spiral and mono-stringer designs, sleek glass and cable railings, ornate metal railings, and one-of-a-kind architectural metal features for luxury residences and upscale commercial builds.
What You'll Do Day-to-Day:
- Perform precise MIG welding (short-arc and spray) on mild steel, stainless, and aluminum for railings, stringers, and custom pieces
- Assemble, fit, tack, and complete weldments using detailed blueprints or shop drawings
- Grind, smooth, and prepare surfaces for flawless powder coat or mirror-polish finishes
- Layout and build intricate angles, curves, radii, and complex geometries for stairs and railings
- Run essential shop machinery: shear, press brake, ironworker, band saws, and standard fab tools
- Handle occasional site visits for measurements, deliveries, or installs (field/construction background is a bonus)
Must-Have Skills & Traits:
- Solid track record in custom or architectural welding/fabrication (experience with stairs & railings is a big plus)
- Clean, high-quality MIG beads on steel; stainless and aluminum a big plus - consistency matters
- Confident blueprint reading and precise layout for challenging angles and measurements
- Dependable, focused on details, professional attitude, and strong work ethic (show up on time, ready every day)
Skills That Set You Apart (and Boost Your Rate/Priority):
- TIG experience on stainless or aluminum and other exotic metals
- Deep understanding of stair design - floating systems, mono-stringers, complex geometry
- Real-world install experience (we handle our own field installs)
- Woodworking knowledge or ability to assemble metal/wood treads - we run an in-house wood shop, so if you're primarily a welder but open to helping out with wood tasks during slower fab periods, that's perfect too!
- Bilingual (English/Spanish) - Hablamos español y damos la bienvenida a todos!
What You Get:
- Top-tier competitive pay, direct deposit on a weekly basis
- Paid holidays (after 90 days)
- 1 week paid vacation (after 1 year)
- Steady, year-round work with no seasonal slowdowns
- Team-oriented shop that values quality craftsmanship and pride in every project
Not fully at senior/lead level yet? No problem - we're also bringing on fitters, finishers/grinders, install assistants, and wood shop helpers . Please mention "Helper/Entry-Level Position" when you apply.
