Compensation: $38/Hour + $125–$180/Day Per Diem + $0.76/Mile Mileage Reimbursement Engagement: 6+ month assignments with ongoing opportunitiesA day in this role

Your day starts on a new site where precision matters. You review the WPS and drawings, stage and calibrate the orbital GTAW power supply and weld head, confirm fit-up and cleanliness, and dial in parameters for heat input and travel speed. You lay down consistent, repeatable beads on tubing, pipe, and components—then verify your work through visual and dimensional checks. When conditions shift, you adapt fast—tuning settings, troubleshooting equipment, and maintaining a clean, safe work area.

By day’s end, you’ve met tight tolerances and left behind production-ready welds the team can count on.
