Welder - Manufacturing (Military Components)

JWF Defense Systems • Johnstown, PA • 21h ago

Shift Hours

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

Job Description

At our Edenton facility, we build material handling equipment used in both commercial and military applications. The work centers on welding steel plate and structural shapes into finished assemblies that are built to perform in demanding, real-world environments.

This isn't light fabrication. You'll be working with heavier materials, tight tolerances, and welds that need to be strong, clean, and repeatable. If you're the kind of welder who takes pride in consistent work and a job done right, you'll fit in here.

The equipment you help build is used every day to move, lift, and support critical operations. If you want your work to have a clear purpose and stand up to tough use, we'd like to talk.

Essential Duties

Weld mild steel using FCAW 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

Education Level

Vocational school welding graduate or similar welding education

Experience

Solid experience in FCAW 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, welding workmanship, 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).
