Post-Weld Heat Operations: Carry out post-weld heat treatment operations cleanly and accurately based on explicit process documents and heat treatment instructions. Team-Based Problem Solving: Actively collaborate with assemblers and machinists to troubleshoot process flows, correct equipment problems, and design fast solutions for chronic component repairs. Data Log Control: Record accurate, timely data on computer-based tracking systems or manual logs to maintain a clean flow of parts, materials, and repair documentation. Workplace Safety & Organization: Maintain a safe, pristine workspace by following all protection rules, wearing required protective gear, completing safety training, and conducting routine tool maintenance.

This posting calls for MIG and TIG work. MIG (GMAW) feeds a continuous wire electrode through a shielding-gas nozzle. It lays down metal fast and is forgiving on clean material, which is why it dominates production and light fabrication work. TIG (GTAW) uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode with filler added by hand, giving the operator the most control of any process. It is slow, demanding, and the standard for stainless, aluminum, and anything where the bead has to look as good as it holds.
Pay figures are medians computed from live postings in the Welding Pros index, not from survey data, and they move as employers post. Welder figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
