Full Job Description

2nd Shift Welder/FabricatorUnion Shop | $30–$38/hour Based on Experience & Education | Paid 1st Shift Training | Aluminum Welders Encouraged to ApplyBuild the Engines That Power America's Fleet

Looking for more than another welding job?

Put your welding skills to work building heavy-duty industrial engines that support the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, Military Sealift Command, and allied fleets around the world.

This isn't repetitive production welding. It's skilled fabrication work where your ability to read blueprints, perform precision fit-ups, control distortion, and produce high-quality welds directly impacts mission-critical equipment.

If you take pride in craftsmanship and enjoy working on large components, heavy weldments, and complex assemblies, this is an opportunity where your skills truly matter.

Industrial welders, heavy fabricators, structural welders, and aluminum welders are encouraged to apply. Experience with precision welding, fit-up, heat control, distortion management, and quality workmanship transfers exceptionally well to this role.

Pay, Benefits & ScheduleEarn $30–$38/hour

Pay is based on experience, education, welding skill level, and qualifications.

What We Offer

Union manufacturing environment
Benefits starting Day One
401(k) with company match
100% tuition reimbursement
Career growth opportunities
Stable, long-term manufacturing career
Voluntary overtime opportunities based on production needs

Shift & Training

This position begins on 1st Shift for paid training, giving you the opportunity to learn our welding procedures, equipment, quality standards, and production processes before transitioning to your permanent schedule.

Permanent Schedule:

2nd Shift
Monday–Friday | 3:00 PM–11:30 PM

After approximately one year, employees may request consideration for available 1st Shift opportunities based on business needs, performance, and openings.

What You'll Do

As a Welder/Fabricator, you'll perform skilled welding and fabrication supporting the production of large industrial engines.

Responsibilities include:

Perform welding using approved welding procedures
Read and interpret blueprints, weld symbols, engineering drawings, and Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS)
Set up and weld large subassemblies and production components
Perform layout, fit-up, tack welding, grinding, cutting, and assembly
Weld in multiple positions
Select filler metals and welding variables to control distortion and shrinkage
Determine weld size and type when required
Maintain tolerances up to 1/64"
Support quality inspections, including magnaflux testing
Assist with welding equipment setup and changeovers
Work closely with Engineering and Quality teams to meet production standards

What You'll Be Welding

You'll work on:

Large industrial engine components
Heavy weldments
Fabricated assemblies
Low-volume, high-quality projects

Materials include:

Aluminum
Ductile iron castings
Copper nickel
Ferrous and non-ferrous materials

Material thickness ranges from 1/8" plate up to 2" heavy plate.

This position is ideal for welders who enjoy challenging fabrication work—not light, repetitive production welding.

What We're Looking For

Strong MIG welding experience
Aluminum welding experience strongly preferred
Heavy fabrication experience
Ability to read blueprints, weld symbols, engineering drawings, and WPS
Experience with layout, fit-up, and assembly
Experience using precision measuring tools, including calipers and micrometers
Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills
Commitment to quality, safety, and craftsmanship

Candidates with experience in industrial welding, fabrication, manufacturing, or other hands-on welding environments are encouraged to apply.

Candidates must successfully complete required background and drug screening requirements.

Why You'll Want This Opportunity

This is more than a welding job.

You'll have the opportunity to:

Build products that support the U.S. Navy and allied defense operations
Work on equipment that has real-world impact
Join a highly skilled team of experienced trades professionals
Continue developing your welding and fabrication expertise
Build a stable, long-term career in a union manufacturing environment

Security Requirement

Due to U.S. Government defense contract requirements and NOFORN restrictions, applicants must be U.S. Citizens and cannot hold dual citizenship.
