Job Description

Temporary Welder – MIG/TIG

Position Summary

We are seeking experienced Temporary Welders to support our manufacturing operations on a short-term basis. The ideal candidate will have strong MIG welding experience, proficiency with TIG welding, and the ability to work with stainless steel materials.

This position requires a skilled welder who can read and interpret blueprints, understand detailed specifications, and produce quality weldments in a custom manufacturing environment. Because many of the products are built to individual customer specifications, welders must be comfortable working with different dimensions, configurations, and drawings rather than performing the same repetitive welds every day.

• Ability to work independently and follow written and verbal instructions.

• Ability to safely use common welding and fabrication tools and equipment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience operating or working with overhead cranes.

• Experience with custom or made-to-order fabrication.

• Experience working with stainless steel components and assemblies.

• Experience with dimensional inspection and measuring equipment.

• Previous experience in a manufacturing or industrial fabrication environment.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand for extended periods throughout the workday.

• Ability to bend, stoop, kneel, reach, and work in various positions while welding and fabricating.

• Ability to safely handle and position metal materials and components.

• Ability to lift, push, pull, and move materials as required.

• Ability to work in a manufacturing environment with exposure to welding fumes, heat, sparks, noise, and metal materials.

• Must be able to wear required personal protective equipment, including welding helmet, gloves, protective clothing, safety glasses, and hearing protection as required.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is an experienced welder who takes pride in producing clean, accurate, high-quality welds. This position is best suited for someone who is comfortable reading blueprints and adapting to custom jobs with changing dimensions and specifications. A strong attention to detail, solid MIG welding ability, TIG experience, and stainless steel experience are essential to success in this role.
