You will perform code-quality welds using MIG and flux core processes, interpret blueprints, and contribute to steady, well-planned production work in a fabrication environment.

Responsibilities

• Perform structural welding using MIG and flux core processes in vertical (3G), overhead, and horizontal positions on carbon steel plate.
• Read and interpret blueprints and drawings to plan weld layouts, fabrication steps, and procedures.
• Use tape measures, calipers, rulers, and other measuring tools to take accurate measurements and mark layouts.
• Determine appropriate welding equipment, settings, and methods based on job requirements and specifications.
• Set ampage and voltage correctly on welding machines to achieve proper penetration and weld quality.
• Set up components for welding, including cutting material with powered saws to match required measurements.
• Operate angle grinders to prepare parts, clean weld areas, and grind welds to meet quality standards.
• Align, clamp, and fit components to ensure proper joint preparation and structural integrity prior to welding.
• Execute weld tests such as 3G MIG on 1/4-inch carbon plate and 4F MIG on 1/4-inch plate to demonstrate proficiency, including clean starts and stops.
• Test and inspect welded surfaces and structures to identify and correct flaws or defects.
• Maintain welding and fabrication equipment in safe working condition and follow established safety procedures.
• Work collaboratively in a production environment to meet output goals while maintaining quality standards.
• Support structural fitting and fabrication tasks as needed to keep projects on schedule.

Essential Skills

• Proficient MIG welding skills with the ability to pass a 3G MIG test on 1/4-inch carbon plate and a 4F MIG test on 1/4-inch plate, with clean starts and stops.

• Strong tape measure and layout skills with accurate measurement reading and marking.
• Knowledge of setting ampage and voltage on welding machines for different materials and positions.
• Experience using angle grinders for weld preparation and finishing.
• Ability to operate manual or semi-automatic welding equipment safely and effectively.
• Capability to align, clamp, and fit components using calipers, rulers, and similar tools.
• Understanding of basic weld inspection practices to identify flaws and ensure structural integrity.
• Commitment to maintaining equipment in a condition that supports safe operation.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Structural fitting experience in an industrial or fabrication setting is preferred.
• Experience in industrial production welding or fabrication environments.
• Experience in flux core welding for structural applications.
• Familiarity with working in a structural welding shop focused on code work and clean prints.
• Comfort working in a high-production, fabrication-focused environment on a multi-building campus.

Why Work Here?

This opportunity offers steady, well-planned work in a long-established, family-owned business with a strong track record of year-over-year growth.

Team members benefit from healthcare coverage that includes vision and dental, and they work in an environment where projects are consistent rather than short-term or seasonal. The culture values reliability, professional craftsmanship, and long-term employment, providing a stable setting for welders and fitters to grow their skills.

Work Environment
