Step Into a Precision Welding Role

Picture your day: you arrive to a clean, well-organized fabrication floor serving projects across Forney, Rockwall, Kaufman, Wills Point, Terrell, and Royse City. You review the production schedule, pull prints, lay out your parts to 1/16" accuracy, and get to work. By mid-morning you’ve moved from structural MIG passes on a frame to a fine TIG bead on stainless, keeping tolerances tight and throughput high. In the afternoon, you help a teammate on a rush job, confirm your weld profiles, and leave your station spotless—ready for the next shift.

About the Role

We are hiring experienced MIG and TIG welders for a fast-paced metal fabrication/manufacturing environment in the Production / Welding department. This is hands-on fabrication—more than running beads. You’ll fit, fabricate, measure, troubleshoot, and keep production moving while maintaining safety and quality.

Employment & Compensation

• Employment Type: Temp-to-Hire or Direct Hire (based on need)
• Shifts: 1st, 2nd, or 3rd; OT and some Saturdays depending on workload
• Pay: $20–$30+ DOE (higher for combo welders, strong blueprint readers, and stainless TIG specialists)

Core Work You’ll Do

Welding

• Execute MIG welds on carbon/structural steel, sheet, tube, frames, and assemblies
• Perform TIG welds on stainless, aluminum, and precision parts
• Complete multi-pass work as required
• Produce fillet, groove, butt, lap, and vertical welds
• Prep joints: grind, clean, and condition surfaces

Fabrication

• Interpret blueprints, shop drawings, and weld symbols
• Layout with tape measure, square, level, and soapstone
• Operate saws, grinders, drill press, ironworker, and plasma table (as needed)
• Fit components and tack assemblies ahead of final welding

Quality

• Verify penetration, appearance, and dimensional accuracy
• Hold tolerances to spec
• Correct defects/rework when needed
• Deliver clean welds with minimal spatter

Shop

• Maintain a clean, organized workstation
• Follow the production schedule and support rush priorities
• Use proper PPE and comply with OSHA safety standards

• Chop saw/band saw
• Clamps/fixtures
• Plasma cutter
• Measuring tools
• Hoists/forklifts

Your Proficiencies

• OSHA 10-Hour Certification (OSHA 10)
• Tape Measure Reading
• Welding Setups for Production
• Vehicle & Fleet Welding
• Blueprint Reading

Machines & Technologies You’ll Use

• MIG Welder (ESAB, Fronius, Kemppi, Hobart, Everlast)
• TIG Welder (CK Worldwide, Everlast, Hobart, Kemppi, Fronius, ESAB)
• Stick Welder
• Flux-Cored Arc Welder

If you take pride in precise welds, accurate fit-up, and a safe, efficient shop—this role is built for you.
