Thomas Marine, an established business (50+ years) in the Marine Metal Fabrication business located in Point Loma (2835 Scott St.) is looking to hire 2 welder/fabricators. We are expanding.
A Thomas Marine Fabricator/Welder will construct, install, and repair metal yacht structures and components out of stainless steel (often polished to #8) or aluminum. We also fabricate quite a bit of handrails (Stainless and bronze) and ornamental features for high end homes / public art, along with specialized prototype or developmental items for NWIC / U.S. Navy.
Apart from the “essential duties and responsibilities” a Fabricator/Welder should have the ability to:
Multitask, be highly organized and be able to reasonably interface with a boat owner/captain/engineer
Have reliable transportation
Comprehension skills to follow safety regulations, instruction and interpreting fabrication drawings
Verbal communication, social and interpersonal skills, ability to speak English
Ability to follow directions from yacht owners
Understanding of Fabrication / Installation drawings
QUALIFICATIONS
Experience, Educational, and Physical Requirements:
Verifiable TIG welding experience. You will be asked to perform a quick TIG welding exam as part of the interview that should take no longer than 10 minutes. MIG welding experience useful but not necessary.
Minimum of 2-5 years’ experience in metal fabrication/welding stainless and aluminum.
Regular use of a variety of common metal fab hand-held and motorized fab tools and machinery is preferred
Standing for extending periods of time is common, as is welding outdoors on a yacht
Lifting of up to 50 pounds is required
Valid driver's license and be commercially insurable!
Have pride in their work & get along with others (this is important to all of our crew)
If you like boats, performing “boat yoga” on motoryachts, superyachts, racing sailboats, cruisers, occasional military / USCG projects, then you will love this job! We are the opposite of production welding.
