Welder AM-TR

Wabash•New Lisbon, WI

About The Position

Welders perform manufacturing tasks that vary by location and product line. They help manufacture carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum products and subassemblies, producing high-quality work while meeting production standards. Depending on the product line, employees must pass qualification weld tests and may need to pass certification tests. Applicants who do not pass the initial weld test may qualify by attending Wabash’s in-house Weld School and demonstrating they can pass the test after training. Wabash provides training for welding positions, including orientation and several days of preparation for the production floor. The job takes place in a production environment where safety, environmental, and health concerns require ongoing attention. Employees may encounter fumes or airborne particles, moving mechanical parts, vibration, loud noise, high temperatures, and occasional exposure to outside elements at job sites. Production-floor employees must wear required personal protective equipment. Reasonable accommodations may be made for individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.
