The Opportunity

This isn’t a high-volume production welding job.

This is a shop-based welding and fabrication role where you’ll work on a variety of projects as part of a newly built, in-house weld/fab team.

The company recently brought fabrication in-house, creating an opportunity for welders who want more variety, hands-on work, and a true shop environment — not just running the same parts all day.

If you like building, fitting, and working on different projects — this is that kind of role.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Perform MIG welding on steel components
• Assist with basic fabrication and fit-up
• Work from prints or instructions to complete parts accurately
• Support shop projects tied to production and facility needs
• Maintain weld quality and consistency
• Keep your workspace clean and organized

This is a hands-on fabrication role, not just repetitive welding.

What You’ll Work On

• Steel components and assemblies
• Shop-built parts and fabrication projects
• Equipment and production-related fabrication work

What We’re Looking For

• Welding experience (MIG preferred)
• Ability to read basic prints or follow instructions
• Interest in fabrication work, not just production welding
• Strong work ethic and attention to detail

Note: A weld test is part of the hiring process.

Schedule & Hours

• 1st Shift: Start at 6:00am
• 50–55 hours per week typical, some 40 hour weeks
• Overtime is consistent and built into the schedule

This is ideal for someone who wants steady hours with consistent income.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Newly built in-house weld/fabrication shop
• More variety than typical production welding roles
• $24/hour starting pay + consistent overtime
• Reliable weekly hours
• Part of a larger organization with long-term stability
• Local facility with a family-style culture dating back to 1902

Work Environment

• Metal fabrication and finishing environment
• Shop-style welding and fabrication work
• Industrial setting with typical shop conditions

The Bottom Line

If you’re a welder who wants steady hours but more variety than a production line, this is a strong opportunity to get into a growing in-house fabrication shop.
