-
Precision GTAW (TIG) Welding: Perform high-quality, defect-free TIG welding on stainless steel (16 ga. to 1/4"), aluminum, and thin-gauge carbon steel. Control heat input, penetration, and puddle size to prevent warping, burn-through, or base-metal discoloration.

Sheet Metal Forming & Prep: Set up and operate shop sheet metal equipment—including press brakes, shears, plate/pinch rolls, corner notchers, drill presses, and deburring equipment.
-
Fit-Up & Fixturing: Fit, align, and fixture complex assemblies using clecos, sheet metal vise-grips, copper chill blocks, backer bars, and squaring jigs to maintain exact geometry and mitigate thermal distortion.
-
Finishing & Surface Blending: Grind, blend, grain, and polish weld seams using orbital sanders, dynabrade belt files, Scotch-Brite wheels, and pickling/passivation paste to meet food-grade, sanitary, or architectural cosmetic requirements.
-
Quality Assurance: Inspect welded assemblies against flat layouts and assembly prints using dial calipers, height gauges, protractors, and squares.
-
Safety & Bay Upkeep: Maintain argon/shielding gas lines, tungsten grinders, and torch hardware; follow all OSHA guidelines and PPE standards (auto-darkening helmet with appropriate shading, respirators when working stainless/aluminum, safety glasses, leather sleeves).
- 3+ years of Welding experience (TIG)
- 2+ years of sheet metal fabrication experience
- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
- Knowledge of shop safety in a manufacturing environmentÂ
- Knowledge of AWS D1 StandardsÂ
- Ability to pass a 3G open root test on 1" plateÂ
