Employment Type: Full-Time | Direct Hire
We're seeking a skilled Welder to join a stable, growing manufacturing team in the South Metro. This role focuses on custom stainless steel MIG welding for heavy-duty equipment used in the fertilizer industry.

What You'll Be Building
You'll fabricate rugged, custom equipment designed for demanding agricultural environments, including:

• Blenders and mixers

What You'll Do

• Perform stainless steel MIG welding on custom industrial equipment
• Read and interpret blueprints and fabrication drawings
• Weld using .035-.045 flux-core and hardwire MIG
• Weld 1/16" to 1/4" mild steel and stainless steel (pipe, sheet, plate, channel)
• Weld in flat, vertical, and overhead positions
• Complete custom welds in, on, and around tanks
• Maintain high standards for quality and safety

What We're Looking For

• Welding certification, diploma, or equivalent hands-on MIG welding experience
• Strong blueprint reading skills
• Stainless steel welding experience preferred
• Ability to lift 50+ lbs and work in physically demanding positions
• Comfortable working in varied positions (bending, kneeling, crawling)

Work Environment

• Laid-back, team-oriented shop
• Strong focus on quality and craftsmanship-not production quotas
• Custom projects that change regularly, keeping the work interesting
