MIG Welder​/Fabricator

AES Manufacturing is looking for an experienced MIG Welder / Fabricator who can do more than just
run a bead. We want someone who can read a print, fit and fabricate parts, solve problems, and take
work from raw components to a quality welded assembly. AES builds safety products that help protect
workers, so the quality of the weld and the accuracy of the finished assembly both matter.

• Perform MIG welding on carbon steel, stainless steel, and other materials used in AES products as required.
• Read fabrication drawings, blueprints, weld symbols, work orders, and sketches.
• Measure, lay out, fit, tack, weld, grind, and finish fabricated assemblies.
• Use fixtures, jigs, saws, grinders, hand tools, and other approved fabrication equipment safely.
• Build repeat-production and custom fabricated components.
• Inspect your own work for weld quality, fit, dimensions, and overall workmanship.
• Troubleshoot fit-up, distortion, sequence, and fabrication problems.
• Support robotic welding, fixture work, or other fabrication functions when qualified and needed.
• Maintain a clean, safe, organized work area and meet production expectations without sacrificing quality

• Strong MIG welding and metal fabrication ability.
• Ability to read fabrication drawings and blueprints.
• Ability to measure accurately, fit assemblies, and work independently after understanding the job.
• Consistent weld quality and ownership of the finished product.
• Practical problem-solving ability and willingness to accept feedback.
• Reliable attendance and safe work habits.

• Two or more years of welding/fabrication experience preferred, or equivalent demonstrated ability.
• Custom fabrication and fit-up experience.
• TIG welding, stainless steel, fixtures, jigs, or robotic welding experience.
• Forklift experience or certification.

• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Additional company-paid and voluntary benefits according to current AES plan terms.
• Paid holidays and paid time off.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Full-time, year-round manufacturing work.
• Opportunities to cross-train and grow into higher-skill manufacturing roles.

Strong welders can progress into advanced fabrication, robotic welding, senior welder/fabricator, training, fixture development, quality, or lead responsibilities based on demonstrated skill and business need.

Years of experience help, but they are not everything. Qualified candidates will tour AES and complete a practical welding/fabrication skills assessment.
