bench weld·er
/ˈbench ˌwel-dər/
noun

  1. An individual who welds and fits metal components together on a fixed, stationary work surface—typically a rigid, reinforced fabrication table designed to hold materials securely and maintain precise alignment during assembly.

  2. A tradesperson responsible for assembling, positioning, fitting, and welding parts at a dedicated bench in order to produce accurate, dimensionally consistent weldments ready for integration into larger systems or structures.

Example:
Each weldment was laid out and secured at the fabrication table, where the bench welder completed the fitting and welding to final specification.
