Ready to keep complex welding systems mission-ready?

If you thrive switching between meticulous shop prep and on-the-ground field support, this role is for you. You’ll ensure welding, gouging, and blasting equipment is maintained, calibrated, and deployed safely and efficiently—at our warehouse 70% of the time and at industrial sites the remaining 30%.

Pay & Schedule

  • Base pay: $20–$27/hour.
  • Field rotations: 7/12 schedules with straight time, overtime, and double-time on Sundays and Holidays—significantly boosting total earnings.

Does this sound like you?

  • Do you keep equipment inventories tight, logs accurate, and tools in top condition from unload through project closeout?
  • Can you set up and install overlay systems so crews work safely and efficiently with clean, orderly workspaces?
  • Are you confident tuning equipment to run within safe parameters and quality specs?
  • Do you collaborate with welders and NDE staff to demonstrate best practices and proper equipment positioning?
  • Will you jump in to support craft teams, assist with repairs/testing, and contribute to fabrication R&D?
  • Can you uphold safety regulations and quality expectations while hitting productivity targets?
  • Are you diligent about checklists—accounting for gear, tagging defects, and reporting issues promptly?

Minimum Profile to Succeed

  • At least 1 year of practical experience in weld overlay or industrial construction (preferred).
  • Hands-on familiarity with industry-standard welding tools and equipment.
  • Strong communication skills (written and verbal).
  • Comfort with computers and typical software (e.g., Excel).
  • Ability to follow written and verbal instructions.
  • Willingness to work variable schedules.
  • Act with integrity and comply with company policies and employment screening requirements.

Physical & Environmental Conditions

  • Heavy construction and maintenance settings with changing weather and environmental factors.
  • Prolonged standing/walking; climbing ladders and scaffolds; bending/stooping; pushing/carrying; moving equipment up to 100 lbs.
  • Confined, noisy areas with higher temperatures and humidity.

Where You’ll Work & What You’ll Use

  • Warehouse, shop, and field sites across industrial facilities.
  • Company vehicles, laptops, cell phones, radios, potential heavy equipment, and a broad range of industry tools.

Travel Requirements

  • About 30% travel—domestic and international (USA, Canada, and other locations) based on project demand.
  • Current U.S. Passport and valid driver’s license are strongly recommended.
  • Travel is mandatory when field work is needed.

Plus Ups

With training/certifications, you may also perform NDE activities (VT, PT, UT thickness) on weld samples and projects.
