Job description

Level up your welding career! Take on a welding supervisory position that will reward your skillset with up to $40/hr, outstanding benefits, and a working environment that supports your desire for excitement. Work on unique projects for industries like aerospace and manufacturing, keeping critical American resources in the game.

Make your mark with a company that values your expertise, invests in your future, and is constantly working.

WB Industries is seeking a 2nd Shift Welding Supervisor in O’Fallon, MO to join their skilled team!

$2,000 Sign-on bonus is available to well-qualified candidates!

If you have welding and fitting experience (to include Seel MIG and Flux Core), leadership experience/working supervisor experience, can read blueprints and a tape measure confidently, know your way around weldments, and maintain excellent attendance, you’ll fit right in with this position!

Why WB Industries Is a Strong Fit for a Welding Supervisor in O’Fallon, MO:

• Fabrication Focused Work: This is not a “just weld it and move on” environment. You’ll be leading and working alongside a skilled team performing fittings, fabrication, and welding assemblies that require attention to detail, accuracy, and process awareness.
• Work You Can Be Proud Of: Projects require solid fit-up and clean welds, and the shop is set up to let you do quality work without cutting corners.
• Pay That Reflects Skill: Earn up to $40/hour, based on experience and demonstrated fabrication ability. Plus, $2/hr shift differential bonus for working the 2nd shift!
• $2,000 Sign-on bonus!
• Great Benefits: Medical PPO and HSA plans, dental, vision, and life insurances, as well as a 401k policy with company match, all available first of the month after 60 days!
• Consistent 2nd shift schedule with 3-day weekends: Monday – Thursday, 4:30pm – 5:00am.
• A Shop That Values Capability: Employees are tested before interviews to ensure core skills are real. If you can fabricate and fit properly, you’ll be respected and relied on.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Experience Matters Here

• This position requires proven experience in a fabrication environment-not just technical knowledge, but time spent doing the work. You should bring strong, practical expertise in MIG, TIG, stick, and flux-core welding, along with a solid background in structural fabrication. You’re comfortable reading complex prints, weld symbols, and specifications, and you understand metal behavior, distortion control, and how fabrication choices impact downstream work. When problems show up with equipment, fixturing, or weld quality, you know how to diagnose them quickly and fix them correctly.

Quality and Safety Are Non-Negotiable

• At WB, quality and safety are built into the work-not inspected in at the end. The Welding Supervisor is expected to have a firm understanding of weld quality standards, inspection practices, and defect prevention, along with experience supporting procedure qualification, welder performance testing, and required documentation. You actively reinforce OSHA-compliant practices and help set the tone for a safety-first, production-smart culture on the floor.

Leadership the WB Way

• This role is about steady, earned leadership. You know how to coach welders at different skill levels and help them improve without micromanaging. You communicate clearly, handle discipline and conflict fairly, and set expectations that people understand and respect. Accountability matters here, and you follow through in a way that keeps the team productive and moving forward.

Keeping Work Flowing

• You’re responsible for organizing daily work, staging materials, and keeping jobs on track-even when plans change. Emergency builds, rework, and design updates are part of real fabrication, and you’re comfortable adjusting priorities to keep production moving. You work closely with machining, paint, design, and production to make sure projects move smoothly from start to finish.

Problem Solving on the Floor

• When issues come up, you make practical decisions backed by experience. You know how to balance quality, speed, and safety without cutting corners. You don’t just fix problems-you identify root causes and help prevent repeat issues.

Professionalism and Reliability

• WB needs supervisors who are dependable, consistent, and prepared. You set the tone by showing up ready, keeping solid documentation, and paying attention to details. You bring a continuous improvement mindset and are willing to help refine processes, improve flow, and raise the bar for the whole team.
