ALUMINUM WELDER

Description

Does a clean, consistent weld bead give you a quiet sense of pride that's hard to explain to people who don't weld? Do you have an eye for alignment that kicks in before you even pick up the torch? Are you the kind of welder who checks your own work before anyone else does - because you already know what quality looks like? Does it mean something to you to weld a frame that an EMS crew is going to depend on in the field? Are you the go-to when something tricky needs to be done right the first time?

If this sounds like you, then we need to talk...

Frazer, Ltd. is the nation's leading builder of custom emergency medical vehicles and mobile healthcare units. Our Aluminum Welders build the structural backbone of every unit we produce - the frames and boxes that EMS crews are going to trust with their lives and their patients'. If it's not built right here, nothing downstream fixes it.

What Does a Week in the Life of the Aluminum Welder Look Like?

• Unloads and sorts aluminum kits by component category, stages materials at the frame station, and pulls the correct print before the first tack of the shift.
• Sets up jigs, tacks components into position, and runs full MIG welds across flat and horizontal positions with consistent, quality-first technique.
• Inspects own welds for quality before the unit moves to the next work center - no defects get passed forward.
• Stands up walls, aligns and squares the box, and runs structural welds including wheel wells and storage compartments.
• Diagnoses and corrects bow or warp in fit-up, applying structural judgment on custom and non-routine builds (Welder III+).
• Catches a print discrepancy and escalates it to the Lead before it becomes a rework situation downstream.
• Delivers structured OJT to a Welder I - building quality instincts, not just technique (Welder IV).
• Closes out the shift with accurate Shop-Trak time entry and a 5S-ready work area set up for the next build.

Required Education and Experience:

• Basic MIG welding experience or completion of a welding training program for Level I; must pass a Frazer weld test.
• 1+ years MIG welding in a manufacturing or fabrication environment for Level II; weld test at Frazer standard.
• 3+ years with demonstrated all-position capability for Level III; all-position weld test required.
• 5+ years MIG welding experience (3+ at Frazer) and HM designation for all Level IV lead-adjacent competencies.
• Ability to read a tape measure and follow structural fabrication prints.

Preferred Education and Experience:

• AWS D1.2 Aluminum Welding certification or equivalent.
• Experience with aluminum-specific welding techniques (aluminum behaves differently from steel - knowing that matters here).
• Experience reading structural fabrication prints in a commercial vehicle or trailer manufacturing environment.

Skills (to Pay the Bills)

Here's a list of a few competencies that the Aluminum Welder at Frazer should have...

• You weld to spec because that's the standard - not because someone's watching.
• You check your own work before it moves forward, because you already know what a good weld looks like.
• You understand aluminum - how it shrinks, how it warps, and how to work with it rather than against it.
• You're consistent: same technique, same quality, same hustle on unit 50 as on unit 1.
• You can read a print and lay out work confidently before you pick up the torch.
• At higher levels, you're the welder newer teammates come to when they want to learn how it's actually done.
