Job summary

EZG Manufacturing in Ohio is seeking a Robotic Welding Operator / Tack Welder to join our fabrication team. The role blends manual tacking with setup and operation of a robotic welding cell to keep both the human and the robot moving efficiently.

You’ll read blueprints, set up fixtures, load parts, monitor welds, and perform quality checks while maintaining a safe, organized work environment. This is an opportunity to grow in automated welding and robotics within a dynamic production team.

Qualifications

• MIG welding experience required; tacking parts in fixtures is a strong plus.
• Able to read basic blueprints, weld symbols and work instructions.
• Comfortable around robotic or automated equipment; prior robot operator experience is a plus but not required.
• Strong attention to detail and a quality-first mindset.
• Able to manage two tasks in rotation (tacking + robot loading/monitoring) with a steady pace.

Responsibilities

• Set up tank components in weld fixtures and tack per blueprint/work instructions, ensuring fit-up and alignment before welding.
• Transfer the tacked assembly from fixture onto the robotic welding cell, load and clamp it, and start the programmed weld.
• While one tank is welded, tack up the next in a second fixture to maintain continuous workflow.
• Watch for faults, wire feed issues, arc interruptions, or misalignment and respond to keep the cell running.
• Visually inspect tack welds and finished welds for penetration and appearance; correct defects as needed.
