What will help you succeed

You take pride in getting the details right. You’re willing to ask questions, learn from feedback, and help the people working alongside you succeed.

We’re looking for:

• Current proficiency in MIG welding, TIG welding, or both.
• Attention to detail and pride in producing consistent, quality welds.
• Experience with mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum.
• The ability to read blueprints and understand common weld symbols, or a foundation in those skills and willingness to develop them further.
• Familiarity with measuring equipment and checking work against drawings.
