    Welder (Manufacturing | 1st Shift)

    Location: Cincinnati, OH
    Employment Type: Full-Time | Direct Hire
    Schedule: 1st Shift | Monday–Friday | 6:00 AM – 2:30 PM
    Compensation: $24–$28/hour + overtime (1.5x)

    About the Opportunity

    A well-established U.S.-based manufacturer of rugged, mission-critical equipment is hiring experienced Welders to support continued growth at its Cincinnati facility. This role offers long-term stability, consistent first-shift hours, and the opportunity to work on high-quality, code-compliant fabrication in a professional production environment.

    Candidates must be comfortable with hands-on welding assessments and open to overtime as production demands require.

    What Youll Do

    • Perform high-quality welding on fabricated components used in manufacturing
    • Weld using metal-cored wire in pulse-spray transfer
    • Work in 5G and 6G positions on square tubing
    • Set up and adjust welding machines independently
    • Read and follow Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS)
    • Inspect welds for quality, penetration, and consistency
    • Interpret blueprints, weld symbols, and acceptance criteria
    • Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work area
    • Support continuous improvement initiatives and production goals

    Hands-On Weld Test (Required)

    As part of the interview process, candidates will complete a practical weld test evaluating:

    • Arc control, travel speed, bead consistency, and penetration
    • Machine setup and parameter selection
    • Proper interpretation and use of WPS
    • Overall weld quality and workmanship

    What Youll Need

    • High school diploma or equivalent
    • Minimum 5+ years of welding experience in a manufacturing environment
    • Strong experience with metal-cored wire (pulse process)
    • Ability to weld in all positions (including 5G & 6G)
    • Ability to pass in-house weld certification testing
    • Ability to work overtime as required
    • Must pass drug screen and background check

    Why This Role Stands Out

    • Stable first-shift schedule with overtime opportunities
    • Competitive hourly pay with long-term growth potential
    • High-quality work environment with strong safety culture
    • Full benefits package including health, dental, vision, 401(k)
    • Work on meaningful, high-spec fabrication projects
