Leading provider of railway track maintenance equipment, services, and lifecycle support across North and South America. We design, manufacture, and support highly specialized machines that keep rail networks safe, reliable, and operating at peak performance for freight railroads, passenger transit systems, and contractors.

You’ll work in a hands-on environment where engineering, manufacturing, quality, and field service are tightly connected, and where feedback from real-world operation drives continuous improvement. Problems are practical, expectations are high, and solutions have visible impact.

This is a place for professionals who take pride in building and supporting complex equipment, value teamwork and accountability, and want to see the results of their work operating in the field—not sitting on a shelf. If you’re motivated by real responsibility, technical challenge, and meaningful work, Plasser Americas offers the opportunity to build a long-term career supporting infrastructure where failure is not an option.

• Weld & Fabrication Inspection – Perform visual inspection of welded components and assemblies for workmanship, profile, size, and appearance. Inspect structural and non-structural welds on fabricated parts, frames, and subassemblies. Verify weld size, location, and type against drawings and weld symbols. Identify common weld defects including undercut, porosity, lack of fusion, cracks, and excessive spatter.
• Service Inspection & Repair Verification – Inspect welded components that have been repaired, modified, or rebuilt during service activities. Verify service and repair welds meet original design intent, safety requirements, and quality standards. Review service documentation, repair reports, and rework records for accuracy and completeness. Support root cause analysis related to service returns, field failures, or repeat repair issues. Collaborate with service, engineering, and quality teams to identify trends and improvement opportunities tied to service work.
• Dimensional & Fit-Up Inspection – Verify dimensions, tolerances, and fit-up of fabricated and serviced welded assemblies. Inspect alignment, flatness, squareness, and overall geometry before and after welding or repair. Use inspection tools such as weld gauges, calipers, micrometers, tape measures, squares, and height gauges.
• Documentation & Blueprint Interpretation – Read and interpret fabrication drawings, weld symbols, and inspection criteria. Accurately document inspection results and nonconformances per quality procedures. Review work instructions, service procedures, and fabrication standards for compliance.
• Quality Systems & Audits – Support and participate in internal audits aligned with ISO 9001 requirements. Identify nonconformances and assist with corrective and preventive actions. Verify corrective actions are implemented and effective in both manufacturing and service environments.
• Collaboration & Continuous Improvement – Work closely with welding, fabrication, service, manufacturing, and quality teams to resolve issues quickly. Provide feedback on recurring weld or service-related quality issues and recommend practical improvements. Support standardization of weld and repair practices across manufacturing and service operations.

• Experience inspecting welded and fabricated metal components in manufacturing and/or service environments.
• Strong understanding of common welding processes (MIG, TIG, Stick) and fabrication practices.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and weld symbols.
• Experience working within an ISO 9001 or similar quality management system.
• Proficiency with basic inspection and measuring tools.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to communicate issues clearly.

• Background as a welder, fabricator, fitter, or service technician.
