What Does a Fabricator Do?

A fabricator makes metal parts and structures by cutting, shaping and assembling components, work that supports engineering projects and manufacturing. Platers and steel erectors work alongside fabricators, forming and positioning steel structures on site and in the workshop. Read our full fabricator job guide for more detail.
