Description du poste

Making the Metals Powering the World

Solcoa is building the next generation of American metalmaking, starting with rare earths — the metals of power and motion. We've developed a new chemistry that converts rare earth oxides into high-purity metals — the materials inside every EV, fighter jet, wind turbine, and data center — cleaner, cheaper, and faster than any conventional process. Now we're scaling it to thousands of tonnes of annual production.

The Role — Technician (TIG Welding, Fabrication & Assembly)

Build the hardware that powers our plants. You’ll fabricate parts, TIG-weld assemblies, operate machine-shop tools, and assemble/commission reactor and support equipment. You bring discipline, craftsmanship, and a safety-first mindset to every task.

What You’ll Do

• TIG weld stainless, carbon, and specialty alloys; prep joints, fit-up, and perform clean, repeatable welds.
• Fabricate brackets, frames, enclosures, and fixtures from prints—cutting, bending, drilling, tapping, and finishing.
• Operate machine shop tools (mills, lathes, drill presses, bandsaws, grinders) for basic machining and rework.
• Assemble mechanical and pneumatic subsystems: flanges, seals, valves, fittings, sensors, and wiring harness routing.
• Read and mark up drawings; hold tolerances; verify dimensions with calipers, micrometers, and gauges.
• Execute SOPs for build, inspection, leak checks, and pressure tests; document work.
• Support prototype builds and on-the-floor debug; implement quick-turn fixes and continuous improvements.
• Maintain a clean, organized shop; enforce safety practices for hot work, lifting/rigging, and compressed gases.

What You Bring

Required

• Proven TIG welding skill on thin sheet and tube (stainless preferred); strong fit-up and finish quality.
• Hands-on fabrication experience and proficiency with common shop tools.
• Ability to read mechanical drawings and follow detailed build procedures.
• Disciplined, reliable execution—on spec, on time, with excellent documentation.
• Comfort working independently in a fast-paced, hardware-first environment.
• Availability to start soon.

Preferred

• Experience assembling industrial equipment, reactors, furnaces, or vacuum components.
• Basic machining experience (manual mill/lathe) and simple CAD familiarity for markups.
• Certifications in welding or safety (e.g., AWS, OSHA 10/30) are a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
• Company-provided lunch daily
• Visa sponsorship available if needed
