This position is being hired by MJ&H. For questions, contact Bryan Sharp at bsharp@mjhfab.com.

About the role

Responsible for laying out, fitting, and assembling structural steel components from shop drawings so assemblies are dimensionally correct and ready for welding. The Structural Fitter is expected to understand how individual parts relate to the finished assembly and to catch drawing, material, orientation, and fit-up problems before they become costly rework.

Responsibilities

• Read and interpret structural shop drawings, assembly drawings, detail drawings, dimensions, elevations, and weld symbols
• Identify and verify beams, columns, plates, angles, clips, stiffeners, connection material, and other components required for an assembly
• Establish reference points and accurately lay out component locations, hole relationships, cut locations, elevations, and orientations
• Fit beams, columns, frames, plates, stiffeners, clips, connections, and other structural components to required dimensions and tolerances
• Check assemblies for overall length, width, square, plumb, orientation, camber or elevation requirements, and other critical dimensions before release to welding
• Use tape measures, squares, levels, straightedges, clamps, come-alongs, jacks, and other fitting tools to position and secure material
• Prepare mating surfaces and joints as required and tack components securely while maintaining alignment
• Verify part marks, drawing revisions, and material before incorporating components into an assembly
• Identify drawing conflicts, missing dimensions, incorrect material, damaged components, or fit-up conditions that require clarification
• Coordinate with welders so assemblies are accessible, properly prepared, and ready for efficient welding
• Make authorized adjustments or corrections while avoiding unnecessary rework or undocumented changes
• Maintain productive fitting and assembly flow while protecting dimensional accuracy
• Regularly stand, bend, stoop, kneel, reach, climb, and move around large steel assemblies
• Handle fitting tools, clamps, jacks, and fabrication components within safe working limits
• Work around cranes, forklifts, welding, grinding, torch cutting, noise, heat, and other fabrication-shop conditions
• Must be able to wear required PPE
