- Work with square and rectangular tubing, pipe, angle, channel, plate, sheet metal, and other metal materials
- Read fabrication drawings, dimensions, templates, cut lists, and production instructions
- Work with CNC-cut, plasma-cut, laser-cut, formed, and machined components
- Operate or assist with plasma cutters, hydraulic shears, sheet-metal brakes, tube benders, ironworkers, power rollers, saws, grinders, and other metal fabrication equipment
- Check fabricated assemblies for dimensions, alignment, squareness, weld quality, and overall workmanship
- Assist with fabrication and assembly of large structures and oversized custom projects
- Work collaboratively with Design, Foam, Props, Assembly, Paint, and other production departments
- Maintain welding equipment, fabrication tools, and an organized work area
- Follow established safety procedures and proper welding practices
- Minimum of 1 year of welding, metal fabrication, shop, field, or equivalent welding-school experience preferred
- Experience with custom fabrication, structural fabrication, sign fabrication, exhibit fabrication, scenic fabrication, or similar work is a plus
