1d•Onsite

About The Position

The Aerospace Welder (Aerospace Production TIG Welder) performs precision TIG welding on production assemblies with minimal supervision and may provide technical guidance to lower-level welders. The role includes welding basic to advanced complexity assemblies made from aerospace materials, including stainless steel and aluminum. Welders perform T joints, butt joints, and corner welds, and read and interpret blueprints to weld and fabricate components across different materials, thicknesses, and positions. Material thicknesses range from .040 and above. The position requires consistent adherence to aerospace quality standards, documentation, and acceptance criteria. Work is performed onsite in a manufacturing environment with exposure to heavy machinery, noise, and typical shop conditions. The regular second-shift schedule is Monday through Friday, 1:30 PM to 10:00 PM. Paid on-the-job training takes place on first shift for 8–12 weeks, from 5:00 AM to 1:30 PM. Compensation is $25–$50 per hour, depending on experience, plus a $2-per-hour second-shift differential, quarterly incentive bonus, and overtime opportunities.
