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/fabricator. 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 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
