1st Shift - Mig Welder

Production Welder

Join a long-established metal fabrication team as a Shift MIG/TIG Welder, performing high-quality production and fabrication welding on aluminum and steel components. You will interpret blueprints, set up and operate welding equipment, and contribute to a clean, organized, and safety-focused manufacturing environment on either first or second shift.

• Perform MIG welding on aluminum and steel components for both production and fabrication shop work.
• Perform TIG welding as needed, particularly on aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals as specified.
• Interpret and follow blueprints, drawings, and welding procedure specifications to ensure accurate fabrication.
• Use measuring tools such as calipers, tape measures, and angle gauges to verify dimensions and tolerances.
• Set up welding machines based on job requirements and welding procedure specifications, including selecting appropriate settings and consumables.
• Fit and assemble products to match blueprint specifications, including structural steel, sheet metal, and other metal components.
• Utilize robotic welders as needed, including loading parts, monitoring weld quality, and making basic adjustments.
• Perform structural steel and aluminum welding, including mild steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal fabrication.
• Conduct production welding in a high-volume environment while maintaining consistent quality and meeting production goals.
• Perform fabrication welding tasks, including fitting, tacking, and final welding of complex assemblies.
• Inspect welds and finished parts for quality, accuracy, and adherence to specifications, making corrections as necessary.
• Follow all safety procedures and maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.
• Collaborate with team members, machine operators, and engineers to ensure efficient workflow and problem resolution.
• Support continuous improvement efforts by providing feedback on processes, equipment, and quality.

• Minimum 3+ years of MIG or TIG welding experience, with aluminum welding strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to interpret and read blueprints and drawings for welding and fabrication work.
• Hands-on experience with MIG welding on aluminum and steel in a production or fabrication environment.
• Ability to perform TIG welding on aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals as required.
• Experience working with structural steel, aluminum, sheet metal, and mild steel components.
• Proficiency in using measuring tools such as calipers, tape measures, and angle gauges.
• Ability to set up welding machines according to job requirements and welding procedure specifications.
• Experience with robotic welding systems, including basic operation and monitoring.
• Strong blueprint reading and fitting skills to assemble parts to specification.
• Capability to perform production welding while maintaining high quality and consistency.
• Ability to pass a hair follicle drug test.
• Ability to pass a lifetime check.

• Experience with structural steel fabrication, including fitting and welding of large assemblies.
• Experience in both production welding and custom fabrication shop work.
• Familiarity with GTAW (TIG) processes and stick welding.
• Experience welding stainless steel and mild steel in various thicknesses.
• Comfort working with advanced fabrication equipment, including robotic welders and CNC-supported processes.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality metal products.
• Ability to work effectively on either first or second shift as scheduled.
• Willingness to learn and adapt to new technologies and equipment in a modern fabrication environment.
