About The Position

ITW/FEG Cooking/Steam Business Unit is seeking a Fabrication Generalist at its manufacturing site in Troy, Ohio. This dual-role position performs spot and stud welding as well as metal-finishing operations, including vibratory finishing, deburring, grinding, and weld cleaning. The employee must prioritize work so parts move through the process by their due dates. Metal-finishing work includes operating a bank of vibratory, deburring, grinding, and weld-cleaning machines to achieve a good cosmetic appearance on a variety of parts; preparing parts for deburring and weld cleaning; removing weld splatter; grinding welds with a pedestal belt sander; and making minor adjustments to vibratory equipment. Spot-welding work involves planning and performing a wide range of spot- and stud-welding operations on parts and fabrications made of steel, stainless steel, and other materials. Setups vary and use fixtures; some work requires layout or positioning parts by hand. The employee selects electrodes based on metal thickness, weld location, and weld type, and works from drawings, shop orders, and verbal instructions. Attendance is an essential function. Overtime is worked as scheduled to meet customer expectations. The position is in a manufacturing environment and may involve hot or cold conditions, occasional material handling up to 50 pounds, high-frequency welding in the area, climbing to reach the top of a machine, and prolonged periods of standing, sitting, bending, or stooping. Steel- or composite-toed shoes and safety glasses are required; hearing protection is required in some facility areas. The position starts at $19.95 per hour and tops out at $24.94 per hour after six months. ITW is an equal opportunity employer committed to fair treatment throughout hiring and employment.
