Why This Role Stands Out

If you're an experienced welder who takes pride in code-quality welds, pressure vessels, and complex fabrication, this role offers work that challenges your skill—not repetitive production welding.

At Calgon Carbon, our welders fabricate large ASME pressure vessels and piping systems that support critical air and water purification solutions used around the world.

What You'll Be Doing

• Perform ASME code welding on pressure vessels, piping, and structural components • Weld using FCAW, GTAW, GMAW, SMAW, and SAW • Work with carbon steel, stainless steel, and nickel-based alloys • Read and interpret engineering drawings and weld procedures • Complete ASME weld logs and quality documentation • Pass non-destructive testing (NDT) for pressure-retaining welds • Use overhead cranes, jib cranes, and forklifts safely • Inspect and repair welds to meet code and quality standards This is hands-on, high-skill welding—not light fabrication or bench work.

Weld Test & Certifications

• On-site weld test required as part of the interview process • Test is aligned with ASME Section IX procedures • Designed to reflect the actual work performed in the shop • Prior ASME code welding experience required • Company-paid certification and recertification to CCC welding procedures We believe great welders should show their skill, not just talk about it.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of experience welding pressure vessels or pipe (FCAW required)
• High school diploma or trade school certification (welding preferred)
• Ability to pass on-site weld qualification testing
• Strong attention to safety, quality, and documentationSchedule

• Rotating shift operation (details reviewed during the screening process)
• Overtime opportunities as business needs requirePay, Bonus & Benefits

• $29.79/hr. starting pay with structured wage progression
• Shift Differential: Additional $3.00 per hour for qualifying shifts
• $1,000 new-hire retention bonus
• $500 at hire
• $500 after 9 months of successful employment
• Excellent benefits starting Day 1
• Medical, dental, vision & prescription coverage
• 401(k) with generous company match
• Paid time off (vacation starting at 3 weeks)
• Tuition reimbursement and ongoing skill developmentAbout Calgon Carbon
