Welder Fabricator

Job Description Job Description Our wheelchair-accessible vehicle conversions give our customers the freedom to live life on their own terms. The Welder is a skilled, hands-on member of our manufacturing team, responsible for precision welding throughout the vehicle conversion process. This role requires technical expertise, a strong commitment to quality, and a genuine appreciation for the importance of the work that directly impacts the independence and quality of life for our customers.
What You'll Do: Your hands-on work drives our production.

• Assume responsibility for the welding part of the manufacturing process.
• Read and interpret blueprints and specifications as directed.
• Operate MIG welder, grinder, reciprocating saw, and cut-off wheel.
• Ability to bend and shape pipes of various materials and sizes with precision.
• Knowledge in pipe fitting and welding techniques.
• Maintain equipment, inspect for performance and/or safety concerns, and perform troubleshooting as needed.
• Maintain compliance with Freedom Motors' quality and safety standards, policies and procedures, and OSHA safety regulations.
• Ability to read wiring schematics and diagrams and follow both written and verbal work instructions.

What You'll Need: We're looking for hands-on experience and a strong technical foundation.

• Proven hands-on welding experience, ideally in automotive manufacturing or a related field.
• Proficiency with welding machine operation, including regulating current and voltage for proper metal fusion.
• Ability to read and fabricate from drawings, blueprints, schematics, and technical sketches.
• Pre-inspection skills and attention to quality - you catch your own errors before they move down the line.
• Comfortable using hand and power tools in a fast-paced production environment.
• Strong mechanical aptitude, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to troubleshoot problems independently and propose effective solutions.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills; able to follow both written and verbal work instructions.
• Outstanding attendance record and reliability.

Who We Want: More than skills, we're looking for people who care about the work they do.

• Safety-First Professionals: You follow safety protocols because you genuinely care about yourself, your teammates, and the end customer - not just because it's required.
• Self-Starting Problem Solvers: When you see a problem, you dig in and figure it out. You don't wait to be told what to do.
• Reliable Team Players: You show up, follow through, and support the people around you, contributing to a culture of accountability and excellence.
• Lifelong Learners: You're committed to improving your craft and staying current because better skills mean better vehicles. The only thing that's not your job here is saying "That's not my job."
