Complete fabrication work including fitting, welding, grinding, blending, finishing, and assembly
Prepare aluminum surfaces and joints for welding
Set up and adjust welding equipment and welding parameters
Read and work from blueprints, fabrication drawings, and weld symbols
Perform fit-up of fabricated components and assemblies
Inspect completed welds for quality, appearance, penetration, and dimensional accuracy
Identify and correct welding defects and fabrication issues
Use grinders, saws, drills, fixtures, cranes, and other fabrication equipment
Maintain a safe, clean, and productive work environment
Meet production expectations while maintaining quality workmanship

Qualifications

Previous MIG and/or TIG welding experience
Aluminum welding experience strongly preferred
Fabrication and fit-up experience preferred
Ability to read blueprints and weld symbols preferred
Strong mechanical aptitude and attention to detail
Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Ability to perform physically demanding manufacturing work
Welding certification, technical training, or equivalent hands-on experience is a plus

Ideal Experienced Candidate

For higher-level candidates, we are especially interested in welders with:

5+ years of professional welding and fabrication experience
Strong aluminum MIG (GMAW) and TIG (GTAW) experience
Experience welding aluminum sheet, plate, extrusion, and machined components
Strong understanding of aluminum weld preparation, heat control, distortion management, and contamination prevention
Ability to troubleshoot porosity, cracking, lack of fusion, distortion, and other weld defects
Experience with precision fit-up and complex fabricated assemblies
AWS D1.2 Aluminum Structural Welding Code experience or qualifications

What We're Looking For

We are looking for dependable welders who take pride in their work and want to produce a quality finished product. Candidates do not need to meet every preferred qualification to be considered. While experienced aluminum MIG/TIG welders are the primary target, we are open to welders at different experience levels who demonstrate strong fundamentals, reliability, and the ability to learn.

Competitive pay based on welding experience, skill level, and demonstrated fabrication ability.
