Weld Lead (MIG/TIG) – First Shift, Lead & Inspect

IQ Resource Group, Inc.; Waukesha (WI); Presencial; USD 73.000 - 79.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

IQ Resource Group, Inc. in Waukesha, Wisconsin is seeking a hands-on Weld Lead to weld, inspect, and schedule the day’s work while guiding a crew on first shift. You will perform MIG and TIG welding on production, verify first pieces, and ensure clean handoffs to the second shift.

This role emphasizes leadership in a growing metal shop, with opportunities to develop robotic welding capabilities and train the right candidate for broader responsibilities. Overtime may be available as needed.

Formación

• Production MIG and TIG welding experience in a fabrication or job-shop setting.
• Able to read blueprints and weld symbols and inspect your own first piece.
• Lead, coordinator, or senior-welder experience — you have directed work, not only run your own booth.
• Humble, patient, and easy to talk to. Big egos and know-it-alls will not fit this floor.
• Comfortable with changing priorities and mixed job-shop work instead of one part all day.
• Robotic, cobot, or automated welding experience is a strong plus. It is not required.
• Stable recent work history. Able to work first shift with voluntary overtime when the shop needs to catch up.

Responsabilidades

• Lead and schedule welding jobs on first shift and own the details that keep work on time and to print.
• Weld production work yourself — MIG and TIG — not just assign it.
• Complete first-piece inspections before a job runs.
• Read blueprints and weld symbols and adjust when the job-shop queue changes mid-day.
• Communicate every day with the second-shift weld lead so jobs hand off clean.
• Guide experienced welders without turning the floor into a contest.
• Support robotic or cobot welding and help the shop build more of that capability.
