Job Description:
The MIG Welder builds conveyor assemblies in a fast-paced, production-style fabrication shop, owning each build through the full in-house production cycle — from material verification through fit-up, welding, cleaning, and final quality check.
- Verify material on hand against work orders — correct parts, sizes, grades, and counts.
- Cut, grind, bevel, drill, and clean stock to prepare components for fit-up and welding.
- Set up and lay out work from engineering drawings and work orders, using jigs/fixtures or free-hand fabrication as directed.
