A typical day at Simpson Steel Services starts early. As the sun rises, our welders gather for a morning briefing where they discuss the day's projects, safety protocols, and any challenges that might arise. Safety is paramount in welding, and our team ensures all equipment is checked and up to code before any work begins. This careful preparation is a cornerstone of our operation, minimizing risks and ensuring seamless progress on each task.

One of the key phases of a welder's day involves interpreting and executing designs provided by our engineers. At Simpson Steel Services, our welders demonstrate a rare blend of technical skill and artistry. They begin by setting up their workstations, ensuring all materials and tools, like torches, electrodes, and protective gear, are within arm's reach. Attention to detail is crucial, as even the smallest error can impact the integrity of a weld.

Once preparations are complete, the real magic begins. Our welders expertly manipulate metals, using techniques such as MIG, TIG, and stick welding. Each method offers different benefits, tailored to project-specific requirements, whether welding large structural steel beams or intricate decorative ironwork. Watching a skilled welder at work is like witnessing a craftsman forming a masterpiece from molten metal. The sparks fly, illuminating the workshop, as the welder’s steady hands guide the delicate process of joining pieces with precision.

These intervals also foster a tight-knit community among our welders, who often share tips, tricks, and camaraderie over a cup of coffee. Collaboration is vital, as it encourages not only efficient workflow but innovative problem-solving when faced with complex challenges.
