Build America With Us
For more than a century, The Tarrier Steel Company has shaped skylines from our Columbus, OH shop. As a Structural FCAW Fabrication Welder, you’ll turn drawings into durable, precise steel components that anchor buildings across the country.
A Day in the Shop
On your shift, you’ll step into a busy, well-organized fabrication floor. You’ll review shop drawings and weld symbols, stage your materials, and set up your FCAW equipment for structural work on plates, angles, beams, channels, and HSS. With overhead cranes and rigging support, you’ll move members into place, make thermal cuts, back-gouge and grind where needed, and complete strong, clean welds. You’ll verify your own work and correct issues ahead of QC, and you’ll flag any drawing or material discrepancies to your supervisor. Throughout, you’ll maintain a tidy, safe work area and operate welders, torches, and grinders with care.
