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.

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.

• 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.

A consistent weekday schedule.

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