Welder/Fabricator

About Us: Freshour Precision is a high-capacity metal fabrication shop specializing in technical, one-of-a-kind projects. While our core is miscellaneous steel, we don’t just stay behind a welding hood. We are true tradesmen. We handle everything from the initial design and fabrication to professional installation and fleet maintenance. If it’s broken, we fix it; if it doesn't exist, we build it. The Role: We are looking for a pre-apprentice or apprentice who isn't afraid of a "different every day" workload. You’ll be working alongside industry veterans who will mentor you not just in welding, but in the reality of running a successful technical shop. What You’ll Be Doing (and Learning): Metal Fabrication: Learning the ropes of welding, bending, and machining parts for heavy equipment like excavator buckets and custom trailers; Mechanical Service: Getting under the hood of work trucks for engine swaps or troubleshooting hydraulic systems on skid steers; Facility & Field Work: Assisting with on-site installations, re-wiring electrical outlets, and basic plumbing or HVAC tasks; Shop Stewardship: Taking pride in the workspace—whether that’s organizing tools, prepping materials, or keeping the grounds maintained; The Business Side: Gaining insight into what it takes to operate a small business, from project planning to problem-solving on the fly. Who You Are: Mechanically Inclined: You like taking things apart to see how they work; A "Swiss Army Knife": You’re happy to jump from a welding bench to a lawnmower to a wiring project without complaint; Teachable: You listen more than you talk and take pride in doing a job right the first time; Local & Reliable: You have a way to get to the shop in Hortonville and show up ready to work. Why Join Us? This isn't a "single point" experience. You won't spend eight hours a day in a booth doing production welds. You will leave here with a foundational understanding of multiple trades and the problem-solving skills that define a master tradesman.
