MIG​/FCAW Structural Fabrication Welder

Build What Moves Industries — Join ISC Manufacturing

Picture a day where your welds hold together the systems that keep Agriculture, Mining, Aggregates, Construction, Waste Processing, and Conveying operations running. At ISC Manufacturing, you’ll turn detailed drawings into durable, high‑performing components and assemblies.

A Day in the Life

• Start by reviewing blueprints and technical drawings, planning your sequence of cuts, fits, and welds.
• Prep materials using angle grinders, drill presses, handheld plasma cutters, oxy-fuel torches, and an ironworker.
• Lay down strong, clean welds in all positions — horizontal, vertical, and overhead — using MIG (GMAW) and FCAW processes.
• Work at height when required, including 12’+ using ladders and boom lifts, following strict safety procedures.
• Fit and assemble parts with wrenches and basic hand tools before/after welding to ensure quality fit-up.
• Rig and move heavy, odd-shaped parts safely with forklifts and overhead cranes.
