What You Will Do
As a Welder you will prepare materials, set up welding equipment, perform MIG welding operations, inspect completed welds, read blueprints, verify measurements, and help fabricate metal components according to engineering specifications. You will maintain welding equipment, follow quality standards, and support safe, efficient manufacturing operations while producing consistent, high-quality work.
The Welder manufactures welded metal products through skilled MIG welding, fabrication, and quality inspection practices. This role requires technical knowledge, strong work habits, and attention to detail while supporting manufacturing operations.
Successful Welder candidates understand welding safety, blueprint interpretation, and fabrication techniques while producing consistent, high-quality welds that meet engineering requirements. Reliable workmanship contributes directly to operational success.
This career is well suited for individuals who enjoy welding and producing precision metal assemblies.
At roughly $21/hr, this posting comes in about 29% below the $29/hr median for welding jobs across Minnesota, where the middle half runs $25–$30/hr across 38 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 0% of the comparable postings we have wage data for. That gap is worth raising directly — in a market this size there is normally room to negotiate toward the median, particularly if you already hold the certifications the posting asks for.

The most active employers in Minnesota at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Lake Air Products (8), Welding Shop in Minneapolis, MN (4), and Chart Industries, Inc. (3). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
This posting calls for MIG and Stick 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. Stick (SMAW) burns a flux-coated consumable rod and needs no shielding gas, so it works in wind, rain, and on dirty or rusted steel. That tolerance for bad conditions keeps it the default for field, structural, and repair work.
