Precision Production Welder

Location:

Bloomfield, CT 06002 (Onsite)
Engagement: 04-month contract

Schedule:

1st or 2nd ShiftA day in the life

You start your shift by reviewing prints and specs, selecting the right process and tooling for the job. You’ll set up and operate welding, soldering, and brazing equipment, then move seamlessly between flat, vertical, and overhead welds. Throughout the day, you’ll monitor heat input and joint fit-up to prevent distortion, shrink, or warping. When something seems off, you pause—inspect parts with straightedges, templates, and gauges—and correct course before proceeding.

When repairs are needed, you’ll dismantle, straighten, reshape, and reassemble parts using cutting torches, straightening presses, and hand tools. You’ll recognize and deploy common tools of the trade—especially for SMAW and GMAW—ensuring each setup meets the job’s metallurgical and geometric requirements. You’ll keep supervisors informed of any equipment issues or questionable materials so quality stays on target.
