Precision MIG/TIG Welder-Fabrication Specialist

PWS Employment

Job Description

Job Description

A Day in This Role

Picture yourself on a project site in Des Moines, IA, stepping up to a fresh set of prints. You map out your sequence, prep your materials, and lay clean, consistent beads—MIG on a production run, TIG for a fine finish, and Stick when the job calls for rugged versatility. By midday, you’ve verified tolerances, adjusted settings to match material thickness, and collaborated with teammates to keep the schedule on track. You wrap the day by inspecting your work, documenting results, and returning a spotless, well-maintained workspace.

What You’ll Do
  • Execute welding and fabrication using MIG, TIG, and Stick processes across a variety of metals.
  • Interpret blueprints, drawings, and technical specs to plan work and achieve required tolerances.
  • Inspect welds and components for quality, fit, and compliance with internal and industry standards.
  • Set up, operate, and care for welding machines, tools, and fixtures safely and efficiently.
  • Coordinate with project leads and peers to meet timelines and budget targets.
  • Maintain a clean, orderly work area and follow all safety procedures without exception.
  • Troubleshoot and repair metal structures and assemblies when issues arise.
What You Bring
  • High school diploma or equivalent; welding trade schooling or vocational training is a plus.
  • Hands-on welding experience in manufacturing or construction environments.
  • Solid knowledge of welding methods, materials, and shop safety best practices.
  • Ability to read and apply technical documents and blueprints.
  • Strong attention to detail and practical problem-solving abilities.
  • Clear communication skills and a team-first mindset.
  • Welding certification preferred, not required.
Core Proficiencies
  • Reading a tape measure with accuracy
  • Blueprint interpretation
Tools & Technologies
  • MIG welder
  • TIG welder

If you thrive on precision and pride in craftsmanship, we’d love to see your work.
