Welder - Manufacturing (Military Components)

JWF Defense Systems • Johnstown, PA • 13h ago

Shift Hours

5:00am-3:15pm Monday-Friday (overtime on Fridays)

Job Description

In our Edenton location, we build parts that end up on military mobile equipment-armor, structural components, brackets, and anything else that needs to survive hard use in the real world. If you're the kind of welder who takes pride in strong, clean, repeatable welds, then you should apply. The parts you'll build aren't decorative. They're used on equipment that needs to protect people and perform under pressure. If you're the kind of welder who cares about making something that actually matters, we want to talk to you!

Weld mild steel and armor steel plate using GMAW (MIG) in all positions

Read and interpret fabrication drawings, weld symbols, and build specs

Set up welding equipment, choose correct parameters, and verify fit-ups before welding

Perform multi-pass welds, full-penetration welds, and high-strength joints for mission-critical components

Work with jigs/fixtures and help problem-solve when parts need adjustment

Follow required weld procedures (WPS) and adhere to quality/inspection standards

Grind, clean, and prep metal surfaces as needed

Keep your work area safe, organized, and compliant with all shop and defense-related requirements

Support continuous improvement-better processes, better parts, fewer headaches

Education Level

Vocational school welding graduate or similar welding education

Experience

Solid experience in GMAW welding on plate steel; armor steel experience is a plus

Comfortable welding in vertical, horizontal, overhead, and flat positions

Ability to read blueprints and understand tolerances

Strong understanding of weld quality, penetration, and heat control

Ability to lift and maneuver heavy materials safely

A mindset focused on safety, precision, and accountability

Willingness to learn, adapt, and contribute

Experience in a manufacturing or defense-related environment is preferred. Familiarity with armor steel (AR plate, MIL-spec alloys, etc).
