At North Shore Steel and our affiliated companies, we produce large-diameter pipe and structural products that require precision welding to meet demanding industry standards.

Our girth seam welders play a critical role in final weld integrity, work that directly impacts quality, safety, and performance in the field.

If you’re a Sub Arc welder who understands full-circumference welds, tie-ins, and maintaining consistency through rotation, this is where your skillset stands out.

As a MIG Welder
, you will perform production welding using GMAW (MIG) processes on steel components and assemblies. This role requires experience welding in 2G and 3G positions on long seams and girth seams
, with a strong focus on consistency and weld integrity.

You will be responsible for producing high-quality, repeatable welds in a fast-paced manufacturing environment while following established procedures. The ideal candidate must be able to read and interpret Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) to ensure all welds meet required codes and quality standards.

• Perform MIG (GMAW) welding on steel components, including long seams and girth seams
• Weld in 2G and 3G positions while maintaining consistent quality and penetration
• Set up and adjust welding equipment based on material type, thickness, and WPS requirements
• Read and interpret Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), blueprints, and weld symbols
• Maintain consistent weld appearance and quality across high-volume production runs
• Perform visual inspection of welds to ensure compliance with quality standards
• Complete minor grinding, cleanup, and weld finishing as required
• Maintain welding equipment in safe and proper working condition
• Follow all safety procedures and maintain a clean, organized work area
• Meet production targets without compromising quality

• Prior experience with MIG (GMAW) welding in a production environment
• Ability to maintain consistent weld quality over repetitive work
• Basic understanding of weld settings (voltage, wire speed, gas flow)
• Ability to read basic blueprints or weld symbols
• Strong attention to detail and quality
• Dependable and able to maintain steady performance throughout shift
• Commitment to working safely in an industrial environment

• Experience welding structural steel or heavy gauge materials
• Familiarity with FCAW or other welding processes
• Experience working in high-volume manufacturing environments

• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs independently on a routine basis and handle materials safely as part of daily job duties.
• Ability to stand for extended periods and maintain safe body positioning while performing tasks and moving through the work area, including walking on concrete floors and uneven surfaces.
• Frequent squatting, bending, stooping, reaching, pushing, pulling, and lifting, requiring full-body mobility, balance, and upper- and lower-body strength to perform work safely.
• Manual agility to operate tools safely and effectively, with regular use of arms, shoulders, and…
