About this role
FabLogix is looking for a Welder Supervisor to lead shop welding operations at their 150,000-square-foot Duncan facility, where fabricated pipe spools are produced to ASME codes and customer specifications. You'd oversee both manual and automated welding booths, manage a team of welders, and own the full scope of daily operations—from ensuring compliance with welding procedures and safety protocols to tracking production metrics and coordinating with fabrication, engineering, and quality teams. The role requires you to maintain specific productivity targets (60 diameter inches per shift for hand welders, 160 for automated), conduct safety briefings, manage weld documentation in Odoo, and report progress in daily production meetings.
This position suits someone with at least five years of fabrication experience and proven supervisory background in welding operations. You'll need solid hands-on knowledge of GTAW, FCAW, GMAW, and STT processes, the ability to read isometric and orthographic drawings, and familiarity with radiographic testing overlays. Basic computer proficiency in Excel, Word, and production management systems is essential. A CWI certification and experience with robotic welding are valued but not required. The role is first shift, in-office, and full-time at a company backed by Kelso Industries' broader resources and stability.
