TIG Welder Paying up to $24/hr!

Job Description

This role focuses on precision TIG welding of stainless steel components to produce high-quality carts, racks, and trays. You will work primarily with thin-gauge stainless steel, using a thumb switch and silicon bronze filler rod, while reading blueprints and using hand tools to complete fabrication tasks in an industrial environment.

Responsibilities

• Perform TIG welding on stainless steel materials ranging from 18-gauge to 14-gauge with consistent quality and precision.
• Use a thumb switch (rather than a foot pedal) to control the TIG welding process during all welding operations.
• Apply silicon bronze filler rod as specified to join and fabricate stainless steel components.
• Fabricate and assemble carts, racks, trays, and related stainless steel products according to specifications and blueprints.
• Read and interpret blueprints and fabrication drawings to determine welding requirements, dimensions, and assembly steps.
• Set up welding equipment, select appropriate settings, and verify that materials and tools meet job specifications.
• Use hand tools and basic fabrication equipment to prepare, fit, and finish welded parts.
• Inspect welds and finished products for quality, accuracy, and adherence to tolerances, making adjustments as needed.
• Follow all safety procedures and maintain a clean and organized work area in an industrial shop environment.
• Collaborate with team members and supervisors to meet production schedules and quality standards across different shifts.

Essential Skills

• 2–3 years of hands-on TIG welding experience on stainless steel.
• Proficiency in TIG welding using a thumb switch rather than a foot pedal.
• Demonstrated ability to weld thin-gauge stainless steel (18-gauge to 14-gauge) with clean, consistent welds.
• Experience using silicon bronze filler rod in TIG welding applications.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and fabrication drawings.
• Strong stainless steel fabrication skills, including fitting and assembly.
• Skilled in the safe and effective use of hand tools commonly used in metal fabrication.
• Ability to work safely and efficiently in an industrial, non-climate-controlled environment.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience producing or assembling carts, racks, trays, or similar fabricated metal products.
• Attention to detail and a strong focus on weld quality and consistency.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while meeting production targets.
• Willingness to work either first or second shift as needed.
• Strong work ethic and reliability in an industrial production setting.

Why Work Here?

You join a production-focused team where your TIG welding expertise directly contributes to visible, high-usage products. The environment values skilled craftsmanship, consistency, and safety, offering steady work across multiple shifts. You gain the opportunity to refine your stainless steel welding and fabrication skills while working with a supportive group of professionals in a structured industrial setting.

Work Environment

This role is based in an industrial, non-climate-controlled facility where temperatures can be hot, especially during warmer months. You will work around welding equipment, fabrication tools, and stainless steel materials in a production shop setting. The position offers multiple shift options, including first shift (approximately 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.) and second shift (approximately 2:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with occasional 3:30 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. hours). You should be prepared for a physically active role that involves standing for extended periods, working around noise, and wearing appropriate protective gear and work-appropriate attire suitable for a welding and fabrication environment.
