  • Execute precision welds that are subject to rigorous third-party inspections at three distinct stages of the production process to guarantee structural integrity and regulatory compliance.
  • Interpret advanced engineering drawings and mechanical blueprints to accurately measure, place, set up, and secure complex fixtures for highly customized production runs.
  • Prepare, execute, and validate first article inspections to establish baseline quality and structural standards prior to full scale production.
  • Permanently stamp a unique personal identification number into all completed work to ensure lifetime traceability, complete accountability, and stringent quality assurance.

  • High School Diploma or GED equivalent.
  • Minimum of 2 to 3 years of experience in advanced industrial welding, specifically with high pressure vessels, tanks, or heavy structural fabrication.
  • Ability to successfully pass required site specific certification testing within a maximum of 3 attempts during the onboarding period, with results verified by an external third-party laboratory.
  • Demonstrated ability to read and accurately interpret complex engineering drawings, blueprints, and fixture setups (technical competency will be evaluated via a practical assessment during the interview and shop tour process).
  • Ability to endure the physical demands of the role, including lifting heavy materials, manipulating complex fixtures, and operating safely in a high heat manufacturing environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Active or previously held credentials in ASME Section IX, AWS, or specific pressure vessel codes.
