About The Position

Sizemore, Inc. is hiring a Production MIG Welder in Edgefield, South Carolina. This hands-on production role focuses on welding and water-testing large and medium radiators to ensure they meet performance, quality, and safety standards. The work includes MIG and Stick welding, repairing leaks, preparing radiator fixtures for water testing, and completing production and quality documentation. Candidates need direct experience with manual MIG welding; machine or robotic welding experience does not satisfy this requirement. The role is described as a temp-to-perm opportunity at 90 days. The starting pay is $17.00–$17.50 per hour, with shift differential. Available schedules are first shift (5 a.m.–3 p.m.) and/or second shift (3 p.m.–1 a.m.); the assigned shift depends on business needs, and training will likely take place on first shift.

The work takes place in a production environment and involves frequent or continual standing, walking, and bending. Employees frequently lift and carry 10–100 pounds, occasionally lifting up to 100 pounds; cranes are used for heavier transfers. Continued employment depends on passing criminal background and employment verification checks, as well as pre-employment and random employment drug screens. The employer states that it provides equal employment opportunities and prohibits discrimination and harassment.
