Welder
About The Position
Ground Force/Mega of Albuquerque has an amazing opportunity for a skilled fabricator/welder that desires to show their craft in challenging and interesting heavy fabrication metal work. This isn't straight line welding for those just getting started; our world class tanks require skilled welders with the ability to weld-wire feed in multiple positions. In and out of tanks and on-top of them too, the candidates that succeed for us show the ability to flexibly and reliably perform craftsman welds in confined spaces and in quality ways. There is room to grow, or room for those that like the hands-on part of the craft. These are welder opportunities for highly capable talent, or those that can quickly grow from average to excellent. We are not a typical small shop; we are a worldwide company with the desire to treat our employees well so that they treat our customers well. We seek dedicated employees who want to see what a long-term commitment can gain them. Make today the first step in your long career with us and apply now! Wages based on our 5-point scale as appropriate for your weld test with opportunity to earn more over time.
