TIG Welder

TIG Welder

Composed of Chromalox, Durex Industries, Vulcanic, and Thermocoax businesses, Electrical Thermal Solutions (ETS), part of Spirax Group, creates electrical process heating and temperature management solutions, including industrial heaters and systems, heat tracing, and a range of component technologies.

At Chromalox, we build advanced thermal technologies for the world's most challenging industrial heating applications.

Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we got our start with an innovative solution 100 years ago when a self-taught engineer invented the first metal-sheathed resistance heating element. It was this then-advanced thermal technology that launched an entire industry.


We excel in industries that have high expectations. We are acknowledged as experts at delivering solutions that exceed specifications, limit risk, and reduce operating costs.

Join us as we continue to provide solutions to our customers and the world!

• Familiarity with manufacturing processes such as heavy equipment manufacturing, welding technology, materials technology, manufacturing methods technology, and a wide variety of weld methods and equipment knowledge, safety requirements; GTAW, GMAW, SAW, SMAW & Brazing, pressure vessel, piping, pump, fluid transfer, heat transfer design experience preferred.
• Proven working experience adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing into all units of measure, using whole numbers, common fractions, proportions, and decimals.
• Proven experience understanding various measuring devices to meet drawing dimensions and specifications.
• Proven working experience analyzing documents such as blueprints, work orders, work instructions, diagrams, safety rules, operating and maintenance instructions, and procedure manuals.
• You must pass employer welding performance tests or standard tests to meet certification standards of ASME, governmental agencies, or professional and technical associations.
