The local market in Azusa, CA

Azusa, CA currently has 7 other active welding openings besides this one, spread across 3 employers. None of them were added in the last week, so this is a slower-moving market.

What you'll be running

This posting calls for MIG. 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.
