Job DescriptionPrecision MIG Welding Technician

Ready to turn prints into flawlessly welded assemblies? Let’s talk. We’re seeking a technician who blends accuracy, safety, and speed on every project.

What will you build?

• Lay out parts, secure with fixtures, tack, and complete welds to spec.

• Perform preventive maintenance and basic troubleshooting; request repairs when needed.
• Measure and inspect using micrometers, calipers, gauges, and other precision tools.
• Demonstrate strong attendance: be on time, follow your schedule, and remain on task.
• Embrace a quality-first mindset and wear required PPE at all times.
