Job Description

Job Description

Growing St. Cloud area company seeking to hire welders / welding machine operators to their team!

 

We are looking for candidates on 2nd shift (M-TH) and Weekend Shift (12 hour shifts Friday, Saturday & Sunday). These are full-time, long-term roles, we are looking for career oriented individuals. Candidates are eligible to receive full benefits package after completion of probation period.

 

These positions are not typical welding roles. The majority of these roles are operating machines that do the welding, and then there is some manual TIG welding to touch things up (roughly 85% machine operating, and 15% manual welding). All of the welding is done on smaller parts, there is no heavy lifting at all for these roles. The manual welding is mostly TIG welding. This is a great spot for someone who does not want any heavy lifting and someone who does not want to be dirty after work.

 

Pay is based on previous experience and weld test.

 

We are looking for candidates with 1+ year of professional welding experience OR related education.

 

Why work here:

  • Great benefits package after probation period, health insurance is 100% paid for by company for you and dependents
