Location: Saucier, Mississippi
Kings Forge Steel is seeking experienced Fitters and Welders to join our growing team.

Our projects include complex fabrications such as:
- Aircraft Tail Stands
- Aircraft Maintenance Platforms
- Navy Paint Barges
- Antenna Towers
- Specialty Access Platforms
- Structural and Mechanical Assemblies

Position Responsibilities
- Read and interpret fabrication drawings, blueprints, welding symbols, and engineering specifications.
- Lay out, fit, fabricate, and weld structural and mechanical steel assemblies.

- Ability to self-manage and complete projects with minimal supervision.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing inspection-ready work.
