WELDER

We don’t make mass-produced gadgets—we fabricate high-precision manufacturing systems and massive tooling (think the largest Invar molds in the world) that make next‑generation aircraft and defense systems fly. If you like throwing your hood down, laying clean beads on complex metals, and working on large‑scale aerospace projects—this is your spot.

Pay Range: $23.00 – $35.00 / hour (Base rates start at $23–$30/hr; high-skilled welders mastering complex materials and tight blueprint tolerances reach up to $35/hr).

Phase 1 (Training):
Onboarding and hands‑on training take place on 1st Shift starting at 5:00 AM (typically 2 to 3 months, depending on your learning curve). Phase 2 (Production):
Once fully trained, you will transition to 2nd Shift and hit the shop floor running.

You will be standing on your feet for extended periods while fabricating large assemblies. Work involves significant vertical welding (out‑of‑position precision welding on complex structural tooling).
