About The Position

We're hiring Welders / Fabricators for a precision industrial equipment manufacturer that builds advanced custom equipment for the construction and utilities industries in a climate-controlled, high-mix, low-volume manufacturing facility. The role involves working on a wide variety of metal components and assemblies, from blueprint reading and layout through fit-up, tack welding, and final weld-out. Welders use strong MIG and Flux-Core skills, mechanical aptitude, and accurate fitting and assembly from prints to produce high-quality finished assemblies. This hands-on fabrication role offers varied work building custom components, a clean climate-controlled shop with modern equipment, and opportunities to grow fabrication skills. Compensation is listed as $30–$35 per hour total, with a $26–$30 per hour base, a 15% shift differential, a $4,000 sign-on bonus, profit sharing, and rapid raises. The schedule is Friday through Sunday, 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
