Who We Are

Conveyor Concepts of Michigan (CCMich) is an engineer-driven manufacturing company that designs and builds custom material-handling systems and structural steel components. Our fabrication team works directly from drawings to produce one-of-a-kind and small-run weldments—not repetitive production parts.

This role is ideal for an experienced welder/fabricator who takes pride in fit, finish, and accuracy, and who enjoys working in a hands-on shop environment where quality and teamwork matter.

Important to Know Before Applying

This is not a production-line welding role.
We are looking for fabricators who can read drawings and fit parts accurately,not just weld pre-set parts all day.

You’ll be expected to:

• Work from prints and layout drawings
• Fit, tack, weld, and finish parts
• Use cranes, jigs, and fixtures to safely position large weldments

Schedule

Monday–Thursday: 5:00 AM – 3:30 PM

Friday (as needed): 5:00 AM – 11:30 AM

• Pay Range: up to $33.00 per hour (based on experience)
• Employment Type: Full-Time
• Benefits Include:
• Health, dental, vision, life, short- and long-term disability insurance
• Paid Time Off based on years of service
• 9 paid holidays
• Annual bonus opportunities
• Employee Assistance Program
• Safety shoe reimbursement
• Prescription safety glasses
• Clothing discounts and tool loan program

Key Responsibilities

• Read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and layout specifications

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of welding and fabrication experience
• Strong ability to read and interpret blueprints
• Read a tape measure proficiently and solve fractions
• Comfortable fitting and welding parts
• Experience working with structural steel and fabricated components
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs (heavier loads moved with crane or hi-lo)
• High school diploma or GED
• Valid driver’s license required

This Role Is a Great Fit If You:

• Enjoy hands-on fabrication and building from prints
• Are comfortable working with large weldments and cranes
• Prefer variety over repetitive production welding
• Are looking to continue growing your fabrication skills

This Role Is Likely Not a Fit If You:

• Are looking for strictly production or robotic welding
