Traveling MIG Welder/Fitter

Pay: $34/hr (or adjust as needed)Duration: 3-6 Month and

Position Overview

Super Steel is seeking experienced MIG Welders with strong fit-up skills to join a high-production fabrication environment. The ideal candidate will be highly proficient in MIG welding, blueprint reading, and weld fit-up, with experience working on carbon steel, mild steel, and stainless steel components. Candidates with both short-circuit and pulse MIG welding experience are strongly preferred.

This role requires individuals who can independently interpret blueprints, perform layout and fit-up, and produce high-quality welds while maintaining productivity and safety standards.

Essential Responsibilities

• Perform MIG welding using .035" wire with a 75/25 gas mixture
• Utilize both short-circuit transfer and pulse transfer welding processes
• Weld carbon steel, mild steel, stainless steel, and dissimilar metals
• Use 309 wire when welding dissimilar materials
• Complete weld fit-up from blueprints without direct supervision
• Produce quality fillet and groove welds in accordance with AWS weld symbols and WPS requirements
• Perform basic weld cleanup and remove spatter as needed
• Work from engineering drawings, weld symbols, bills of materials, and assembly instructions
• Build and fit assemblies using both fixtured and non-fixtured processes
• Maintain quality standards while meeting production requirements
• Safely operate jib cranes and pallet jacks as required

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 3+ years of MIG welding and fabrication experience

• Strong fit-up experience with the ability to build directly from prints

• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and AWS weld symbols

• Experience welding:- A36 carbon steel

  • Mild steel
  • Stainless steel

• Experience with sheet, plate, and square/rectangular tubing

• Ability to work independently and within a team environment

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience welding dissimilar metals, particularly stainless steel to mild steel
• Pulse MIG welding experience
• Vertical-up welding experience
• Overhead welding experience
• Structural welding background
• Layout and fabrication experience in non-fixtured environments

Material Specifications

Materials

• Predominately A36 carbon steel
• Mild steel
• Stainless steel

Material Thickness

• Sheet metal: 11 gauge to 1/2"
• Tube wall thickness: 1/8" to 1/4"
• Square and rectangular tubing:- 2" x 4"- 3" x 4"- 3" x 5"

Welding Requirements

Joint Types

• Fillet welds
• Groove welds

Welding Positions

• Flat
• Horizontal
• Vertical-up
• Overhead

Most welding will be performed in flat and horizontal positions; however, certain workstations require welders capable of performing vertical-up and overhead welding. Candidates should indicate their experience level with out-of-position welding.

Quality Expectations

Successful candidates must be capable of:

• Producing clean, consistent welds
• Maintaining dimensional accuracy
• Working within tolerances ranging from .08" to .30"
• Following WPS requirements and quality documentation
• Completing accurate fit-up prior to welding
