Troubleshooting welding machines and equipment issues

Entering labor hours into the ERP system (SAP)

Supporting daily housekeeping and 5S initiatives

Meeting internal and external customer expectations consistently

?? Where You'll Make an Impact

You'll support field and construction operations , fabricating and repairing components that must meet exact standards in demanding environments. Your work contributes directly to job-site success, safety, and customer satisfaction.

Experience operating a wide range of hand and power tools

Willingness and ability to obtain AWS certifications (training provided)

Mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills

Strong safety mindset and attention to detail

Ability to work independently while collaborating with field and shop teams

?? The Kind of Welder Who Thrives Here

You know a good weld isn't just about looks - it's about penetration, tolerance, and performance. You follow procedures, but you also speak up when something can be improved. You take pride in clean, consistent work and understand that your welds carry responsibility long after the job is done.

?? What We Offer

Our Total Rewards Program goes far beyond base pay and includes:

$26-$30/hour , based on experience

Travel Per Diem

20 days PTO to start + paid holidays

Day one medical, dental, and vision coverage
