Production MIG / TIG Fabrication Welder

A day in this role

Picture your day starting at a clean workstation where prints, sketches, and process docs are waiting. You review the job, set up your electric-arc welding machine, and dial in the right heat, wire, and electrode for the material at hand. Some weldments are standardized and repetitive; others are custom builds controlled by fixtures—either way, you bring components together with confident, consistent beads.

Before the first arc strikes, you confirm fit-ups (liberal or fixture-controlled), check the fixture you'll use—or help build or tweak it—then make compensating adjustments for material or environmental variation. Throughout the day, you collaborate with the Lead and other welders, keep safety front and center, and hit routed production rates while meeting quality expectations.

What you'll do

• Weld a range of standardized, repetitive, and custom assemblies using electric-arc processes (MIG / TIG).
• Interpret samples, blueprints, sketches, and other instructions to execute work accurately.
• Assist with the layout and construction of weld fixtures used to complete projects.
• Inspect your work to defined procedures, comply with all quality system requirements, and submit work for secondary approval as required.
• Set up welding machines and adjust parameters to account for material conditions; select proper heats, wires, and electrodes to meet quality and throughput goals.
• Support teammates as directed by Lead personnel or Supervision and help troubleshoot equipment when needed.
• Maintain a safe, orderly environment; follow company safety standards and safe work practices.
• Consistently achieve routed rates or other specified production targets.
• Complete all job-related paperwork and provide daily task reporting.
• Keep your area clean; reset and tidy your station at job completion or day’s end.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.
