Experienced MIG Welder – Container Fabrication
Pay:$20-24 based on experience
Type: Full-time
Location: Wheatland, PA
Shift:Day shift only, 10hrs, 40 to 50 hours per week
Why This Job
We build sealed containers where the weld quality is the priority no shortcuts, no leaks, no comebacks. If you take pride in a clean bead and want to work alongside other skilled welders who hold the same standard, this is a shop where that craftsmanship actually matters and gets noticed. You'll work in a tight 2–3 person crew, moving containers down the line, with real ownership over your section of the work.
This is not entry-level. We're looking for welders who already know their way around a MIG gun and don't need to be taught the basics.
What You'll Be Doing
- Running .045" and .052" bare wire MIG on container fabrication, completely welding up units after tacking
- Welding side posts, stitches (tack to tack, zero holes), end caps, corner wraps, and double-pass hinge welds
- Welding in every position flat, vertical, overhead
- Grinding welds and end caps to a clean finish
- Reading production schedules and hitting a 1-hour finish-weld target per standard container
- Operating an overhead crane and working from a ladder in and out of containers
What You Bring
- 3–5+ years of MIG welding experience, ideally in fabrication or heavy steel work
- Ability to set up and dial in your own MIG welder rather than working off someone else's settings
- Comfort welding in multiple positions, including overhead and confined spaces
- Working knowledge of plate/gauge thickness (able to tell ¼" from 7 ga., 10 ga., and 12 ga. on sight)
- Tape measure proficiency for layout
- Physical ability to lift/carry up to 60 lbs, climb ladders, and work in a constant state of alertness
- Ability to pass a hands-on welding test
- A team mindset this role runs as a 2–3 person crew and depends on everyone pulling their weight
What Sets Strong Candidates Apart
- Experience with sealed/leak-critical welding
- Speed without sacrificing quality our benchmark is a clean, sealed container within 1 hour
- Fabrication knowledge beyond welding alone
