About The Position

The Welder performs welding operations in a manufacturing environment, ensuring quality, safety, and efficiency in accordance with production specifications. Depending on the area of assignment, the role may involve operating automated equipment, performing manual welding, and working with various materials.

Welders read blueprints, technical drawings, and work instructions; select and set up appropriate equipment, tools, and materials; perform welding to production and quality standards; inspect finished welds; maintain equipment; and follow safety procedures. They may specialize in robotic/process welding, MIG (GMAW) welding, or spot/resistance welding.

Robotic/process welders operate and maintain robotic welding systems, inspect and rework welds, monitor parameters, program equipment, troubleshoot settings, optimize processes with engineering and technical staff, and maintain related records. MIG welders weld components and assemblies to specifications, select suitable wire, shielding gas, and parameters, and assist with equipment setup and maintenance. Spot/resistance welders perform resistance spot welding on sheet-metal assemblies, maintain electrode alignment, pressure, and timing, monitor equipment, and perform basic maintenance.

The role requires regular attendance, cooperation with others, and the ability to perform other job-related duties as assigned. Successful completion of a pre-hire drug screen and post-offer background screen is required. Continued employment is at-will.
