About The Position

At North Shore Steel and our affiliated companies, we produce large-diameter pipe and structural products that require precision welding to meet demanding industry standards. Our girth seam welders play a critical role in final weld integrity, work that directly impacts quality, safety, and performance in the field. If you’re a Sub Arc welder who understands full-circumference welds, tie-ins, and maintaining consistency through rotation, this is where your skillset stands out. As a MIG Welder, you will perform production welding using GMAW (MIG) processes on steel components and assemblies. This role requires experience welding in 2G and 3G positions on long seams and girth seams, with a strong focus on consistency and weld integrity. You will be responsible for producing high-quality, repeatable welds in a fast-paced manufacturing environment while following established procedures. The ideal candidate must be able to read and interpret Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) to ensure all welds meet required codes and quality standards.

Requirements

Prior experience with MIG (GMAW) welding in a production environment
Ability to maintain consistent weld quality over repetitive work
Basic understanding of weld settings (voltage, wire speed, gas flow)
Ability to read basic blueprints or weld symbols
Strong attention to detail and quality
Dependable and able to maintain steady performance throughout shift
Commitment to working safely in an industrial environment

Nice To Haves

Experience welding structural steel or heavy gauge materials
Familiarity with FCAW or other welding processes
Experience working in high-volume manufacturing environments

Responsibilities

Perform MIG (GMAW) welding on steel components, including long seams and girth seams
