Job summary

Spherion Staffing, LLC in Utah seeks a dependable Robotic Welding Operator to oversee automated welding cells, load parts, run pre-programmed weld cycles, inspect pieces and troubleshoot basic issues.

You will not write robot programs from scratch; paths and parameters are pre-set. The role emphasizes cycle consistency, routine mechanical troubleshooting, and quality control in a manufacturing cell.

Qualifications

• Experience: 1+ years operating industrial machinery (robotic weld cells, CNC machines, stamping presses, or automated manufacturing equipment).
• Technical Skills: Read shop drawings/blueprints and use basic measuring hand tools.
• Troubleshooting Aptitude: Diagnose minor mechanical hiccups, wire feed issues, or consumable wear without supervisor intervention.
• Welding Knowledge: Familiarity with MIG (GMAW) welding fundamentals is a plus, hands-on welding experience helpful but not required.

Responsibilities

• Load and clamp metal components into fixtures, jigs, and rotary positioners per production blueprints.
• Select and execute pre-loaded weld programs from the machine controller.
• Monitor automated welding cycles for proper wire feeding, gas flow, and arc stability.
• Troubleshoot faults (clear wire jams, adjust wire-feed tension, swap tips/nozzles).
• Visually inspect welds for defects (spatter, porosity, undercutting, penetration).
• Use calipers, tape measures, and fillet weld gauges to verify dimensions.
• Maintain weld torches/fixtures and perform minor PM at shift turnover.
• Follow cell safety procedures and use PPE.

Position Overview

We are looking for a dependable Robotic Welding Operator to oversee and operate automated welding cells. In this role, you will load parts, run pre-programmed weld cycles, inspect finished pieces, and perform basic machine troubleshooting.

Note: You will not be writing robot programs from scratch- all paths and parameters are pre-set. This position functions similarly to an advanced CNC or production machine operator role, focusing on cycle consistency, routine mechanical troubleshooting, and quality control.

Key Responsibilities

Load and clamp metal components into custom fixtures, jigs, and rotary positioners according to production blueprints.

Select and execute pre-loaded weld programs from the machine controller.

Monitor automated welding cycles to ensure smooth wire feeding, steady shielding gas flow, and stable arc performance.

Perform basic operational troubleshooting when faults occur (e.g., clear wire jams, adjust wire-feed tension, swap worn contact tips or nozzles).

Visually inspect finished welds for quality defects such as spatter, porosity, undercutting, or incomplete penetration.

Use basic inspection tools (calipers, tape measures, fillet weld gauges) to verify dimensional accuracy.

Maintain clean weld torches and fixtures, and carry out minor preventative maintenance at shift turnover.

Comply with cell safety procedures, including the proper use of light curtains, interlocks, and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Qualifications

Experience: 1+ years operating industrial machinery (robotic weld cells, CNC machines, stamping presses, or automated manufacturing equipment).

Technical Skills: Ability to read shop drawings/blueprints and use basic measuring hand tools.

Troubleshooting Aptitude: Comfortable diagnosing minor mechanical hiccups, wire feed issues, or consumable wear without needing immediate supervisor intervention.

Welding Knowledge: Familiarity with MIG (GMAW) welding fundamentals is a plus, though hands-on manual welding experience is not strictly required.

• Physical Requirements: Ability to stand for the duration of a shift and lift up to 50 lbs periodically.

Pay offered to a successful candidate will be based on several factors including the candidate's education, work experience, work location, specific job duties, certifications, etc.
