Welder/Fitter - Navy & Commercial Ship Repair at Solidus Fabrication and Design LLC
JOB DESCRIPTION
What You'll Do
• Perform welding using FCAW (primary process), GTAW, SMAW, and copper-nickel brazing on a variety of base metals including carbon steel, stainless steel, copper-nickel, and nickel-copper, per qualified WPS
• Fit, layout, and fabricate per NAVSEA/MIL-STD drawings and specifications
• Work independently aboard vessels with minimal supervision
• Maintain weld quality consistent with MIL-STD-2035, MIL-STD-1689, and NAVSEA S9074 series requirements
• Set up and break down work sites in accordance with 009-series standards, including proper placement of welding leads, ventilation lines, fire blankets, and plastic/containment barriers
• Perform or coordinate paint abatement, interference removal, and reinstallation as needed to support the work scope
• Coordinate with QA/NDT personnel and support inspection processes
• Identify and flag issues before they become problems - we need eyes that catch things
What We're Looking For
• Navy ship repair experience required - you understand NAVSEA standards, weld procedure qualification, and why the paperwork matters as much as the weld
• Not having ship repair or Navsea experience isn't a deal breaker. If you're a high-quality welder and fitter, we still want you!
• Combo welder/fitter skillset strongly preferred (able to read drawings, fit, tack, and weld)
• Strong working knowledge of applicable MIL-STD and NAVSEA welding/inspection requirements
• Demonstrated ability to work independently - we're a small crew, and we need people who take ownership
• Safety-first mindset paired with genuine common sense - no shortcuts, no excuses
• Current welding certifications (or ability to qualify to our WPS)
