Structural MIG Welding Technician — Heavy Fabrication

Ready to build it right the first time?

We’re hiring a Structural MIG Welding Technician for 1st and 2nd shift. If you thrive on reading metric prints with GD&T and laying down clean, consistent welds, read on.

Does this sound like you?

• Can you interpret fabrication drawings (metric) with GD&T and plan an efficient weld sequence?
• Are you confident welding in multiple positions to AWS standards?
• Do you switch seamlessly between MIG welding, grinding, flame cutting, and arc gouging?
• Are you comfortable setting up fixtures, tacking parts, and using cutting torches and carbon arc tools?
• Can you operate a robotic welding cell and complete safety/equipment checks (torch condition, straightness, harness inspection, etc.)?
• Do you prioritize to hit production schedules and help move materials between fabrication and paint?
• Are you diligent with documentation—labor hours, work orders, and production records?
• Will you flag fabrication issues early, document them, and recommend fixes?
• Can you contribute in a team environment and still perform with limited supervision?

What you’ll need

• Welding experience or completion/in-progress status in a certified welding trade school or technical program.
• Proficiency reading and interpreting fabrication blueprints and engineering drawings.
• Strong dedication to safety, quality, and workmanship standards.

Bonus points

• Experience in heavy equipment or crane manufacturing.
• Hands-on familiarity with shop hand tools: grinders, chisels, tip cleaners, etc.
• Cutting torches and/or carbon arc gouging experience.
• Working knowledge of GD&T.
• Ability to read standard work instructions and complete continuous improvement documentation.
• Comfort using computers for production transactions.
• Fluent with metric measurement systems.

The physical reality

• Welding fumes present; hearing protection required.
• Noise at or above 85 dB.
• Operate overhead cranes, jib cranes, and hoists safely.
• Lift up to 35 lbs frequently.
• Work at heights; climb ladders, equipment, and lifts.
• Stand for 8-hour shifts with minimal breaks.
• Temperature changes throughout the work area.
• Exposure to magnets that may affect medical devices.
• Kneel, squat, crawl; work in tight or awkward positions.
• Repetitive grasping, pushing, pulling, and rotating movements.
• Fine motor work using various hand and power tools.

PPE you must wear

Hearing protection, safety glasses, steel-toed/metatarsal footwear, and full welding protective equipment including jackets, chaps, helmet, grinding shield, and related gear.

Tools & tech

• MIG Welder (plus robotic welding equipment as part of daily operations)

Openings on 1st and 2nd shift. If you answered “yes” to most of the above, we’d like to talk.
