Welder

Welder

Pay Rate: $18/hour (entry level) (1st Shift): Monday – Friday, 6:00 AM – 2:30 PM Location: Dayton, OH 45404 Experience: 0-2 years of experience in industrial welding and fabrication. Will train. As a Welder, you are the final architect of structural integrity. You take precision-cut components and fuse them into massive, high-performance systems.

PrideStaff, a leading national workforce solutions firm, has partnered with a premier supplier located in Dayton who needs someone who doesn't just "lay beads"—you are mastering the art of the airtight weld on a variety of scales, from intricate custom fittings to heavy-gauge industrial ducting that must withstand extreme pressures. Key Responsibilities:

• Precision Fabrication: Perform high-quality MIG and TIG welding on various gauges of sheet metal and heavy plate (up to 1/4" thickness).
• Blueprint Translation: Interpret complex shop drawings and submittal forms to ensure every fitting is built to exact customer specifications.
• Airtight Performance: Execute continuous "long-seam" welds and circumferential welds on spiral and oval ducting, ensuring a leak-proof finish.
• Fit-Up & Jigging: Use clamps, fixtures, and custom jigs to align components perfectly before welding, maintaining tight dimensional tolerances.
• Material Mastery: Adjust machine settings and gas mixtures to account for the unique challenges of welding galvanized steel (avoiding porosity) and stainless steel (managing heat tint).
• Post-Weld Finishing: Clean and grind welds as necessary to meet the high visual standards of industrial and architectural clients.

Why This Role is For You:

• Technical Breadth: You'll work with MIG, TIG, and Pulse welding processes across a variety of metals, including galvanized, stainless steel, and aluminum.
• Complex Builds: Forget simple repetitive tasks. You'll be building 10-foot diameter industrial systems, complex square-to-round transitions, and structural frames.
• Pride in Craft: In the ductwork industry, a weld isn't just a joint; it's a seal. You'll be part of an elite team that ensures zero-leak performance for critical infrastructure.

What You'll Need to Succeed

• Process Expertise: Proficiency in MIG (GMAW) and TIG (GTAW) welding; experience with "Pulse" welding is a significant plus.
• Visual Standards: The ability to produce "stack-of-dimes" quality welds on visible architectural components.
• Industrial Stamina: Experience working on large-scale fabrications and the ability to maneuver heavy-gauge materials safely.
