Job summary

Allegion in Florida is seeking a Welder to produce welded assemblies for commercial stainless steel doors and frames using MIG, TIG and LASER processes. The ideal candidate reads shop prints, adheres to tight tolerances, and ensures high-quality welds in a fast-paced hollow metal environment.

Responsibilities include setup, welding in multiple positions, inspection, and basic NDT as required. The role requires physical stamina, safety discipline, and teamwork.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent preferred.
• 2+ years of welding experience with stainless steel in a manufacturing environment; experience with commercial doors/frames or hollow metal products strongly preferred.
• Proficiency in MIG (GMAW) and/or TIG (GTAW), LASER welding on stainless steel; experience with pulse short‑circuit and spray transfer modes a plus.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints, weld symbols and dimensional drawings.
• Familiarity with welding procedure specifications (WPS), filler metals for stainless, shielding gases, and methods to control distortion.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing high‑quality welds with good fit and finish.
• Ability to pass shop weld tests and quality inspections.
• Basic math skills and the ability to use measuring tools (tape, calipers, squares, levels).
• Good teamwork and communication skills.
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and perform physically demanding tasks (standing, bending, reaching) for extended periods.

Responsibilities

• Set up, operate and maintain welding equipment (MIG/GMAW, TIG/GTAW, LASER, wire feeders, gas systems) per SOP and welding procedure specifications.
• Perform fit-up, tack welding and final welds on stainless steel/hollow metal doors, frames and related assemblies in flat, vertical, horizontal and overhead positions.
• Weld various joints (butt, fillet, plug/slot) to required strength and appearance standards; control heat input to minimize distortion.
• Interpret drawings, blueprints and weld symbols; perform measurements and verify tolerances during assembly.
• Inspect welds visually and perform basic NDT tasks as required (e.g., dye‑penetrant, visual acceptance criteria) or document for QA inspection.
• Clean, grind and finish welds to meet commercial appearance and corrosion‑resistance requirements; prepare stainless surfaces for passivation/pickling as needed.
• Adhere to and follow welding procedure qualifications (WPS), work instructions and company quality standards.
• Monitor production processes, record output and quality checks, and verify completed operations before moving assemblies to the next cell.
• Maintain a clean, organized and safe workstation; follow PPE and safety protocols (respirators, welding helmets, gloves, ventilation).
• Participate in preventative maintenance for welding equipment and report issues promptly.
• Communicate with supervisors and production team to meet schedules and resolve fabrication issues.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
