Your Challenge Bring craftsmanship, curiosity, and teamwork to a shop where no two builds are the same. You’ll start where your skills are today and climb from L1 to L5—expanding your range from MIG/stick in flat and horizontal to vertical/overhead, TIG on stainless, and pressure applications.

How You’ll Contribute Produce sound welds and clean beads; help set up welders, fixtures, and fab tools.

Lay out, fit, and tack from basic shop drawings and weld symbols.

Prep/align pipe, tube, and structural materials; shadow stainless processes.

Participate in visual inspections; spot and prevent common weld defects.

Keep a safe, orderly environment aligned with OSHA, 5S, and company procedures.

Partner with fabricators, machinists, engineers, and project teams on varied builds.

Progress steadily into more advanced positions, materials, and codes as you grow.

What You’ll Need to Succeed High school diploma or equivalent.

Completion of a recognized welding program or apprenticeship.

Fundamental knowledge of welding equipment, processes, and safety.

Track record of reliable flat and horizontal welds.

Ability to follow basic schematics and shop documentation.

A growth mindset toward advanced welding and fabrication.
