Duct Fabricator

Comprehensive Position Overview:

• Role Function: The Duct Fabricator plays a critical role within the Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) and HVAC divisions, converting engineering specifications into structural duct systems required for proper air distribution, ventilation, and climate control across commercial, residential, and industrial facilities.
• Operational Environment: Works primarily within off-site sheet metal workshops, pre-fabrication yards, or dedicated on-site fabrication areas alongside mechanical engineers, quality control inspectors, and assembly teams.

Detailed Technical Responsibilities:

• Pattern Development & Material Selection:
• Analyze complex HVAC shop drawings, cut sheets, and Bill of Quantities (BOQ) to perform accurate material take-offs.
• Lay out, stretch, and develop patterns for custom sheet metal fittings—including offset transitions, bullhead tees, square-to-round adapters, and fire damper casings—minimizing material scrap.
• Select appropriate sheet metal gauges (typically 18 to 26 gauge GI or specialized PI panels) based on system static pressure classifications and airflow parameters.
• Precision Fabrication & Assembly Procedures:
• Cut sheet metal accurately using foot shears, hand snips, and automated plasma cutting tables.
• Form jo
