Are you a skilled welder looking to join a company that’s rapidly growing and shaping the future of industrial and data center technology? This is your chance to become a vital part of a thriving manufacturing team that builds large, high-quality, custom industrial machines and assemblies—used in everything from data centers to large-scale production environments.

As a Welder, you’ll work with a close-knit, high-performing team to fabricate machines, assemblies, and sub-assemblies from engineering drawings and production schedules. This role is hands-on and essential—you'll bring blueprints to life with precision, pride, and craftsmanship.

🔧 What You’ll Do:

• Interpret and weld from mechanical blueprints (you’ll be the first to spot if something’s off).

• Perform primarily MIG welding, but also use TIG, Stick, and Gas when needed.

• Work with thicker-gauge metals—this isn’t light fabrication.

• Prepare, fit, and align metal parts with high accuracy using calipers, squares, and other precision tools.

• Use grinders, buffers, and hand tools to prep and finish parts.

• Complete weld assemblies with minimal distortion and maximum strength.

• Inspect work to ensure it meets drawing specs and welding standards.

• Maintain equipment, perform preventive maintenance, and keep your area clean.

• Use cranes and forklifts for safe part handling.

✅ What We’re Looking For:

Must-Have Skills:

• 3–5+ years of industrial welding experience, with strong MIG welding proficiency.

• Experience working with heavier/thicker gauge metal.

• Ability to read and interpret technical blueprints and welding symbols.

• Fitter experience—you know how to lay out, align, and secure components before welding.

• Comfortable with various welding techniques: MIG (primary), TIG, ARC/Stick, Gas.

• Forklift and crane rigging experience.

• Detail-oriented, safety-conscious, and a strong team communicator.

Nice to Have:

• Previous experience at an OEM or custom fabrication shop.

• Surface finishing experience using grinders, buffers, and hand tools.

• Knowledge of drawing-specific finishing requirements.

• Familiarity with ERP systems and Microsoft Office tools.

🚀 Why This Role Is Exciting:

• Massive growth: The company recently secured major contracts with leading tech giants and is scaling rapidly—tripling revenue and expanding facilities.

• Hands-on impact: Be a key part of a team that builds world-class, custom industrial equipment.

• Growth opportunities: Contract-to-hire with long-term career potential

This opportunity is moving fast. If you’re ready to bring your welding skills to a company where quality matters and growth is real, apply now to secure your spot before it’s gone.
