Welder

At Triple-S Steel we live and work by our core values. Since our inception over 50 years ago, we have followed three basic principles that are the foundation of our success: Stability: All decisions made are measured in years, not quarters. Flexibility: Employees are encouraged to seek creative steel solutions and services that help the company thrive. Chemistry: We foster and nurture an entrepreneurial spirit throughout the Triple-S family. That spirit permeates our DNA. From a small family retail operation in Houston, our business has expanded across the US and S. America to sell over 1 Million tons per year. We supply steel for bridges, stadiums, barges and large buildings but one thing will always remain the same: We treat our customers and employees like family.

The Welder will weld, cut, and braze metal pieces and products by using flame-cutting and hand welding equipment.

Our company offers great benefits, from tuition reimbursement to training and development opportunities. We also offer medical, dental, vision, FSA, HSA, commuter, long-term disability and group life insurance programs. Come join our team!
