Welder / Fabricator — 2nd Shift

Schedule: 2:00 PM–10:00 PM, with flexibility around the start time

Why Join Clemens Food Group?

Are you a skilled TIG welder who enjoys more than running the same weld over and over?

Do you take pride in building something from a blueprint, solving fabrication challenges, and seeing your craftsmanship make a real difference?

At Clemens Food Group, we're looking for a TIG Welder / Fabricator who brings precision, creativity, and a hands-on approach to supporting our manufacturing operations.

This isn't just about making quality welds. It's about using your technical abilities to fabricate components, repair equipment, and help keep our facility operating safely and efficiently.

If you enjoy variety, independent work, and the satisfaction of solving real-world mechanical challenges, this could be an opportunity worth exploring.

The Impact You'll Make

Your craftsmanship will directly support the equipment and operations that keep our manufacturing facility running.

Whether you're fabricating a new component, modifying an existing assembly, or repairing equipment, your work will help maintain reliability, quality, and productivity.

You'll have the opportunity to:

Keep equipment operating: Fabricate and repair components that support plant operations.

Turn drawings into finished products: Transform blueprints and specifications into precision metal assemblies.

Solve hands-on challenges: Apply your welding and fabrication knowledge to equipment repairs and modifications.

Deliver quality craftsmanship: Produce accurate, reliable work that meets safety and quality expectations.

Make a visible contribution: See your fabrication work put to use throughout the facility.

Perform layout work, including measurements and bend allowance calculations.

Operate fabrication equipment, including brakes, shears, cutting tools, and forming equipment.

Support equipment repairs to help maintain manufacturing operations.

Install fabricated components and assemblies throughout the facility.

Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workspace.

Follow plant safety procedures and USDA food safety requirements.

Contribute to departmental quality and productivity goals.

What Makes This Role Exciting?

It's more than repetitive welding.

You'll apply your skills to a combination of fabrication, equipment repairs, modifications, and installation projects.

Your craftsmanship matters.

Precision and attention to detail are essential. The components you build and repair need to perform reliably in a working manufacturing environment.

You'll have independence in your work.

We're looking for someone comfortable taking ownership of assigned fabrication projects while maintaining high standards for quality and safety.

You'll tackle practical challenges.

From interpreting a drawing to determining how a component should be fabricated or repaired, you'll use both your technical knowledge and problem‑solving abilities.

This is an onsite, second‑shift position working Monday through Friday, generally 2:00 PM–10:00 PM, with flexibility around the start time.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in candidates who combine strong welding fundamentals with a practical, detail-oriented approach to fabrication.

Proficiency with stick welding.

Ability to read and interpret blueprints and fabrication drawings.

Experience performing fabrication layout work.

Knowledge of sheet metal fabrication and bend allowances.

Ability to safely operate cutting, forming, braking, shearing, and welding equipment.

Ability to work independently and maintain quality standards.

Take pride in precision: You care about producing quality work and getting the details right.

Think through challenges: You approach fabrication and repair problems logically and practically.

Take ownership: You're comfortable working independently and following through on assigned projects.

Stay adaptable: You can move between fabrication, repairs, and installation work as operational needs change.

Put safety first: You understand that quality work starts with safe practices.

Work well with others: You communicate clearly and contribute to shared plant goals.

Your Future at Clemens

At Clemens Food Group, this position offers an opportunity to apply and continue developing your welding, fabrication, and industrial equipment repair capabilities.

You'll gain hands‑on experience with a variety of fabrication projects while contributing to the performance and reliability of our manufacturing operations.

If you're someone who enjoys building, fixing, improving, and taking pride in a job well done, we'd like to hear from you.

Bring your welding skills. Put your craftsmanship to work. Make an impact.
