Welder Fabricator

Job Description Job Description

Job Title: Welder Fabricator - Luxury Outdoor Living

Location: Athens, TN Job Type: Full-Time

Compensation & The Path to Top Pay:

$19.00 - $24.00 / Hour + Uncapped Growth Potential. We operate a true meritocracy where you are the master of your own destiny. Your pay is directly tied to the skills you master. Experienced master fabricators capable of advanced tasks (such as CNC operation, robotic programming, and MIG welding) can step immediately into the top of our new-hire range ($24.00/hr).

The $19.00 - $24.00/hr band is just your starting line. We do not place arbitrary salary caps on top performers. Prove your worth, increase our efficiency, and bring innovative ideas to the floor, and your compensation will scale directly with the value you add.

About the Opportunity:

Are you a builder, a maker, and a master of your craft? Are you tired of standing in the exact same spot, turning the same wrench, or putting on the same bolt every single day in a traditional factory?

At Big Ridge Outdoor Living (Fenix Group), we operate differently. We are a rapidly growing Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and retailer of ultra-high-end, luxury outdoor living products. We don't operate a monotonous assembly line; we run a dynamic production studio where raw materials are transformed into elite outdoor environments. We are currently seeking top-tier Welder Fabricators who want to build a career, grow with a thriving company, and be part of something much bigger than themselves. We promote strictly from within, and your upward trajectory is limited only by your drive to learn.

The "No Standing Still" Philosophy (Cross-Training):

We believe in building well-rounded master craftspeople, not assembly-line robots. Our production system is highly unique: every team member learns to execute every position. You will be systematically cross-trained across our entire state-of-the-art facility. One day you may be fabricating structural steel; the next, you might be executing high-precision polishing on premium granite, or programming fabrication robots. This dynamic workflow ensures you remain versatile, flexible, constantly moving, and never bored.

What You Will Do:

As a Production Artisan, you will handle a diverse array of premium materials and utilize advanced tooling to build luxury structures from the ground up. Your responsibilities will rotate and include:

Structural Fabrication & Welding: Safely and expertly operate heavy power tools, saws, and execute precise MIG welding to cut, shape, and assemble rigid steel structural frameworks.

Advanced Automation & Machining: Program and operate advanced manufacturing technology, including precision CNC machinery and robotic fabrication systems.

Architectural Finishing: Masterfully apply high-grade PVC siding, stone, and architectural cladding to steel structures, ensuring a flawless aesthetic finish.

Drawing Translation: Read, interpret, and build directly from basic structural drawings.

What You Must Have (The Non-Negotiables):

While experience in all of our specific materials is ideal, we will heavily train the right individuals who possess raw mechanical aptitude. However, to be considered, you must demonstrate:

W elding/Fabricating: You must be able to fabricate steel frames by reading prints, fixturing frames, and mig welding efficiently. Minimum of 1 year demonstrated experience required.

Uncompromising Precision: You must be able to accurately visualize how complex parts fit together and align in three-dimensional space and read a tape measure down to 1/16" increments. In the luxury market, every fraction of an inch matters.

Tool Mastery: Proven experience operating saws, grinders, and various heavy power tools safely and effectively.

Technical Literacy: The ability to read and accurately interpret basic manufacturing drawings.

We Hire Your Heart and Mind, Not Just Your Hands:

We are building a culture of relentless excellence. We expect every team member to operate like an owner. You will be expected to actively identify production bottlenecks and willingly contribute innovative ideas to enhance workplace safety, elevate product quality, maximize productivity, and reduce costs. Your voice will be heard, and your intellectual contributions will directly drive our company forward.

Who This Role is NOT For:

We are highly protective of our team culture. Please do NOT apply if:

You prefer standing in one place doing the exact same repetitive task every day.

You are looking for a place to simply "clock in and clock out" without mentally engaging in your work.

You are resistant to learning new skills or cross-training in different departments.

You are solely motivated by a paycheck and have no desire to take pride in building a world-class, luxury product.

If you are a true professional ready to elevate your craft and grow with an elite brand, apply today.
