Fabricator Jobs in Columbia, PA

A Fabricator in the construction industry plays a crucial role, responsible for cutting, bending, and assembling various types of materials to create a range of structures. In addition to these tasks, they read and interpret blueprints and diagrams, ensure the accuracy of final products, and perform maintenance work on tools and equipment. Fabricators work with materials such as metal, plastic, and other substances to produce parts for buildings, bridges, and other structures. They use a variety of tools and machines to accomplish these tasks, including welding equipment, drills, grinders, and more.

Fabricators need to be skilled in blueprint reading, precision measurement, and physical stamina. They should also have solid problem-solving skills and a keen eye for detail. Proficiency in welding is also important, and they often hold welding certification from organizations such as the American Welding Society. Prior to becoming a Fabricator, individuals may have roles such as a Construction Laborer, Welder, or Machinist to gain the necessary skills and experience. These roles provide valuable hands-on experience and familiarize them with the materials, tools, and safety protocols needed in the fabrication process.
