Welder/Fabricator

Freshour Precision is a high-capacity metal fabrication shop specializing in technical, one-of-a-kind projects. While our core focus is miscellaneous steel, we go far beyond the welding booth—we are true tradesmen, handling everything from 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. We are looking for a pre-apprentice or apprentice who thrives in a “different every day” environment and isn’t afraid of varied, hands-on work. In this role, you will work alongside experienced industry professionals who will mentor you not only in welding, but also in the real-world operation of a successful technical shop. You will gain hands-on experience in metal fabrication, including welding, bending, and machining parts for heavy equipment such as excavator buckets and custom trailers, while also assisting with mechanical service work like engine swaps on work trucks and troubleshooting hydraulic systems on skid steers. The role also includes facility and field work, such as supporting on-site installations, rewiring electrical outlets, and performing basic plumbing or HVAC tasks. In addition, you will contribute to shop stewardship by organizing tools, preparing materials, and maintaining a clean, efficient workspace, while gaining exposure to the business side of operations including project planning and real-time problem-solving. The ideal candidate is mechanically inclined and enjoys taking things apart to understand how they work, is adaptable and comfortable moving between welding, equipment repair, and basic electrical work, and is teachable, reliable, and committed to doing quality work the first time. You must have dependable transportation to the shop in Hortonville and show up ready to work each day. This is not a single-focus position—you won’t spend your time doing repetitive production work. Instead, you will build a broad foundation across multiple trades and develop the problem-solving skills that define a true master tradesman.
