Fabrication Shop Manager

What You'll Do

• Own day-to-day piping fabrication shop operations, directing fit-up, welding, NDE support, handling, and staging from material issue through completed pipe spool release
• Lead and develop a self-perform craft workforce of up to 100 personnel across shifts as required, setting clear expectations for safety, quality, productivity, and accountability
• Resolve production constraints in real time, material shortages, weld repairs, equipment downtime, maintenance, sequencing conflicts, and workforce gaps, before they impact shop output or field need-by dates
• Enforce fabrication quality and code compliance across ASME, AWS, and project welding/NDE requirements, partnering with the Quality team to ensure spools are right the first time
• Cook up close with the Fabrication Project Manager on weekly production targets, look-ahead workfronts, and recovery actions while owning floor-level execution against the plan
• Drive material control, consumables readiness, and shop flow, including cutting, fit-up stations, weld bays, inspection hold points, and staged release, to sustain continuous production velocity
• Champion a zero-compromise safety culture in a high-tempo fabrication environment, including lifting/rigging, hot work, and shop housekeeping standards

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of experience in a superintendent or management role for piping fabrication in industrial, refinery, chemical, or process facility environments
• Demonstrated ability to lead large craft teams in a self-perform or fabrication shop setting and sustain production output under aggressive delivery schedules
• Required working knowledge of piping fabrication codes and practices, including ASME B31.3 / Section IX (or equivalent), AWS welding standards, WPS/PQR application, fit-up tolerances, and NDE hold points
• Proven ability to diagnose and clear shop-floor constraints quickly across material, labor, equipment, and quality interfaces
• Strong communicator who can align craft leads, Quality, Warehousing/Material Control, and the Fabrication Project Manager around clear daily priorities
• Hands-on, high energy, decisive leader who is present on the floor, sets the pace, and holds the standard for safety, workmanship, and accountability
