MIG Welder & Fabricator 1st Shift

• Weld ferrous metal components using Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW / MIG) Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW / flux-core) and Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW / stick) following Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) to meet print and shop requirements.

• Prep and fit joints by grinding beveling laying out tack welding and using torch cutting as needed so parts are ready for final weld-out with solid fit-up and minimal distortion.

• Fabricate structural and non-structural weldments including sub-assemblies and full assemblies working across material thicknesses from 16-gauge through heavy plate steel.

• Read blueprints welding symbols and fabrication drawings to confirm weld size joint type and sequence and build to customer and engineering specifications.

• Lay out position and square parts using measuring tools (calipers combination squares straightedges and rulers) and hold alignment with clamps fixtures and jigs to keep assemblies in tolerance.

• Perform all-position welding (flat horizontal vertical and overhead) based on the job maintaining consistent bead profile penetration and overall weld quality.

• Inspect your work before and after welding using visual checks and basic inspection tools and complete routine care on welding equipment (guns leads power sources wire feeders and grinders) to reduce downtime.

• Other duties as assigned including cross-functional tasks within the fabrication department.

TEAM:

• Youll work alongside welders fabricators and production partners in a respectful shop environment where youll share priorities communicate clearly and support consistent standards. Youll help the team deliver safe on-time builds that strengthen Rotex performance and Hillenbrands long-term success.

THE EXPERIENCE SKILLS AND ABILITIES NEEDED:

• 3 years of hands-on welding and fabrication experience in a manufacturing industrial or heavy equipment environment.

• Practical skill welding carbon steel or other ferrous materials with MIG (GMAW) flux-core (FCAW) and stick (SMAW).

• Welding certification from an accredited institution and the ability to weld to a WPS.

• Ability to read and interpret fabrication blueprints and welding symbols to complete fit-up and weld-out to spec.

• Comfort with fit-up tack and final weld-out using common shop tools and equipment including grinders torches clamps fixtures and jigs.

• Ability to measure lay out and verify dimensions using basic inspection and layout tools to maintain tolerance and alignment.

• Ability to work the posted schedule flex for overtime as needed and maintain safe work practices in a fabrication environment.

• Ability to pass a pre-hire evaluation that includes a blueprint reading/interpretation test and a hands-on weld sample.
