A Day in the Field

Picture your morning starting on-site at an industrial facility, tools organized and PPE on. You scan the day's blueprint set, confirm measurements, and prep materials. By mid-morning you're laying down clean beads-MIG, TIG, Stick, or Flux-Core-on structural steel and metal assemblies. After lunch, you verify weld integrity, touch up where needed, and collaborate with the project manager to sequence the next steps so the install stays on schedule. Tomorrow you'll be at a different site, bringing the same precision and safety-first mindset.

What You'll Do
  • Execute high-quality MIG, TIG, Flux-Core, and Stick welds on a range of metals and thicknesses.
  • Interpret blueprints, schematics, and technical drawings to plan accurate fabrication and installation.
  • Build, repair, and install structural steel and metal components at customer locations.
  • Inspect completed welds to meet specifications and quality standards.
  • Operate welding and fabrication tools safely and efficiently.
  • Travel to customer sites, industrial plants, and construction projects as needed, including overnight trips.
  • Comply with OSHA and company safety procedures at all times.
  • Keep equipment and work areas clean, organized, and maintained.
  • Coordinate with supervisors, project managers, and teammates to meet timelines.
What It Takes
  • 3+ years of professional welding experience.
  • Proficiency across MIG, TIG, Stick, and Flux-Core techniques.
  • Ability to read and work from technical drawings and blueprints.
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
  • Flexibility to travel frequently and stay overnight when required.
  • Capable of lifting up to 50 lbs and working in varied weather and job-site environments.
  • Detail-oriented with a dedication to quality workmanship and safety.
  • Welding certifications preferred but not required.
Preferred
  • Background in industrial, manufacturing, construction, or maintenance settings.
  • OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification.
  • Forklift, aerial lift, or rigging experience.
Benefits
  • Competitive pay: $30-$34 per hour
  • Travel expenses and per diem provided (if applicable)
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Overtime opportunities
  • Career advancement opportunities
