Welder - Manufacturing

Ground Force/Mega of Albuquerque has an amazing opportunity for a skilled fabricator/welder that desires to show their craft in challenging and interesting heavy fabrication metal work. Starting Wage $23-$28/hour depending on experience.

This isnt straight line welding for those just getting started; our world class tanks require skilled welders with the ability to weld-wire feed in multiple positions. In and out of tanks and on-top of them too, the candidates that succeed for us show the ability to flexibly and reliably perform craftsman welds in confined spaces and in quality ways. There is room to grow, or room for those that like the hands-on part of the craft. These are welder opportunities for highly capable talent, or those that can quickly grow from average to excellent. We are not a typical small shop; we are a worldwide company with the desire to treat our employees well so that they treat our customers well. Do you lay a beautiful bead? Can you do so in all the positions? Then this is likely for you! We seek dedicated employees who want to see what a long-term commitment can gain them.
