Benefits: Company-paid employee medical insurance, 401(k) with company match, paid vacation and sick time, company-provided service/welding truck, fuel and tolls, and more.

• Follow applicable welding procedures, including preheat and interpass temperature requirements.
• Perform work in confined spaces, elevated environments, mechanical rooms, industrial facilities, and active customer sites.
• Travel to customer locations throughout the greater Houston area and occasionally to projects elsewhere in Texas.
• Maintain company-provided welding equipment, tools, and service vehicle.
• Participate in an on-call rotation and occasional weekend or after-hours work as required.
• Follow all company, customer, hot-work, and jobsite safety procedures.
• Work effectively with mechanics, technicians, supervisors, and other field personnel to complete projects safely and efficiently.

• Strong understanding of joint preparation, fit-up, welding procedures, and quality requirements.
• Ability to produce high-quality welds on pressure-containing equipment and piping.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and ability to work in field-service environments.
• Comfortable working in confined spaces and at elevated heights.
• Ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a field service team.
