Make, mend, and move what matters

Imagine starting your morning at 5:00 AM in a team that turns steel and concrete into durable pressure pipe. At Thompson Pipe Group – Pressure in South Beloit, IL, you’ll help shape infrastructure—tying rebar, setting up welds for smooth production runs, finishing concrete, and keeping materials flowing. If you bring reliability and a safety-first mindset, we’ll teach you the rest.

Your first 90 days: a clear path

We believe in transparent, contract-defined pay. Here’s how you progress:

1. $17.31/hour on day one
2. $18.71/hour at 30 days
3. $20.11/hour at 60 days
4. $21.51/hour at 90 days (full Laborer rate set by contract)

Plus, earn daily overtime—time-and-a-half after 8 hours—and double time on Sundays and holidays. Many teammates average 15–17 OT hours weekly. At the top rate, typical OT plus retirement contributions can total about $76,000–$80,000 a year (first 90 days: ~$62,000–$65,000). Overtime varies with production and isn’t guaranteed.

Benefits that start quickly

• Bonuses: $100 at 30 days, $200 at 60 days, $300 at 90 days
• Retirement: company deposits $2.16 for every hour you work after 30 working days—about $4,500/year; you contribute nothing
