Job Description:

Position Overview

We're seeking a skilled and collaborative Lead Fabricator to join our small but high-performing studio team. This is a hands-on leadership role-perfect for someone who thrives on the floor, is confident managing complex builds, and enjoys working closely with both project managers and fellow fabricators.

As Lead Fabricator, you'll help plan and execute fabrication workflows, maintain quality control, troubleshoot production challenges, and serve as a key liaison between the shop and the project management team. Your leadership will shape the success of each project, while your technical skill and experience will keep the work moving forward on the floor.

Key Responsibilities

Hands-On Fabrication: Lead by example in the shop-working across materials, processes, and tools to support complex builds and installations.
Project Liaison: Serve as the bridge between fabrication staff and project managers-translating drawings, tracking progress, and flagging issues proactively.
Workflow Coordination: Help scope production timelines, delegate tasks to junior fabricators, and support daily planning in the shop.
Quality Control: Maintain high standards across all fabrication processes and ensure all work aligns with technical drawings and client expectations.
Technical Problem-Solving: Collaborate with the team to resolve material, structural, and logistical challenges as they arise.
Mentorship: Support skill development for junior fabricators and promote a culture of collaboration, learning, and safety.

Qualifications

5+ years of experience in custom fabrication, public art, scenic construction, design-build, or a related field
Proficiency in working with metals (welding), wood, plastics, or composites (multi-material experience preferred)
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and shop plans
Comfort with hand tools, power tools, shop equipment, and fabrication machinery
Strong communication skills and a collaborative work style
Experience coordinating with project managers, designers, or engineers
Ability to lift 50+ lbs and work safely in a physically active shop environment
CAD design experience is a plus
