Oerlikon currently has 1 other opening live in New York, which is usually a sign of either steady growth or steady turnover — worth asking which in the interview.

The most active employers in New York at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Welding Shop in New York, NY (16), Alstom (4), and Metropolitan Transportation Authority (3). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.

What you'll be running

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.
