Job Description
Welding & Fabrication Shop Manager
H&S Fence & Supply is Hiring
We’re looking for an experienced Welding & Fabrication Shop Manager to lead our manufacturing operation.
This is more than a welding position. We need someone who understands fabrication, production, people, and profitability. You’ll be responsible for leading the shop team, keeping production moving, helping design and price custom projects, and improving how we manufacture our products.
What You’ll Do
Lead and manage the welding and fabrication team
Plan and prioritize daily and weekly shop production
Hold employees accountable for quality, productivity, and safety
Train and develop welders and fabricators
Read and create fabrication drawings
Use SolidWorks for product design and shop drawings
Work with CNC equipment and fabrication machinery
Estimate material, labor, and production time for custom projects
Price custom fabrication projects profitably
Order and manage steel and shop materials
Monitor material usage, labor hours, and production costs
Build and improve jigs, fixtures, and manufacturing processes
Maintain quality standards across finished products
Coordinate with sales and management on scheduling and customer projects
Help develop new products and improve existing designs
What We’re Looking For
Strong welding and steel fabrication background
Leadership or shop-management experience
Experience with SolidWorks or similar CAD software
Knowledge of CNC machinery and modern fabrication equipment
Ability to read and create shop drawings
Strong understanding of steel, material takeoffs, and fabrication processes
Ability to accurately estimate and price custom fabrication work
Understands labor efficiency, material costs, margins, and production goals
Organized and able to keep multiple projects moving
Comfortable holding people accountable and making decisions
Mechanically minded with strong problem-solving skills
Takes ownership instead of waiting to be told what to do
The Person We Want
We want someone who can walk into the shop, understand what needs to be built, how it should be built, what it should cost, and who needs to do it.
You should be equally comfortable working through a design in SolidWorks, solving a fabrication problem on the shop floor, pricing a custom project, and leading a team of people.
This is an opportunity for the right person to take real ownership of our manufacturing operation and help us grow it.
Competitive pay based on experience and ability.
