    Join our growing team as a skilled Industrial Welder!
    We are actively hiring for a highly experienced Industrial Welder with strong proficiency in wire welding processes, blueprint reading, and fabrication layout. This full-time role is ideal for welders capable of working in all positions and passing a 6G pipe welding test. If you’re safety-oriented, detail-driven, and reliable in a fast-paced environment—this is the opportunity for you!


    🔧 Key Responsibilities:

    • Perform structural and pipe welding using GMAW (MIG), FCAW (Flux Core), and SAW (Submerged Arc) methods.

    • Interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and weld symbols accurately for layout and fabrication.

    • Conduct welding in all positions (2G, 3G, 5G, 6G) to meet project and code requirements.

    • Setup, monitor, and operate welding machines according to WPS (Welding Procedure Specifications).

    • Conduct visual inspections and make weld corrections with minimal supervision.

    • Safely operate grinders, drill presses, hammers, metalworking tools, and overhead cranes.

    • Follow all OSHA safety guidelines and ensure consistent use of PPE (gloves, safety glasses, respirators, etc.).

    • Open root with max 1/8” gap.

    • Root with GMAW-S (downhill); hot pass feathered using FCAW.

    • FCAW 1/16” wire used from hot pass through final cap (6G uphill position).

    • Final cap with stringer beads only—no weaving; controlled oscillation required.


    Qualifications:

    • 3+ years of industrial welding experience in a heavy fabrication or structural environment.

    • Proficiency in GMAW, FCAW, SAW, and pulsed MIG welding.

    • Ability to read and interpret blueprints and layout plans.

    • Must lift up to 50 lbs and tolerate physically demanding conditions.

    • Strong attention to detail and ability to identify/correct weld defects.

    • Must pass drug screening and background check.
