Welder II LAV (ASME Welder)

📍Location: Equipment & Assembly Facility – Pittsburgh, PA

Calgon Carbon is growing—and so can your career. Join a global leader in environmental solutions where the work you do helps improve air and water quality around the world.

💼 Why This Role Matters

If you're an experienced welder who takes pride in code-quality welds, pressure vessels, and complex fabrication, this role offers work that challenges your skill - not repetitive production welding.

At Calgon Carbon, our welders fabricate large ASME pressure vessels and piping systems that support critical air and water purification solutions used around the world.

🔧 What You’ll Be Doing

• Support equipment assembly and reconditioning of standard products and small systems
• Perform ASME code welding on pressure vessels, piping, and structural components
• Weld using FCAW, GTAW, GMAW, SMAW, and SAW
• Work with carbon steel, stainless steel, and nickel-based alloys
• Read and interpret engineering drawings and weld procedures
• Complete ASME weld logs and quality documentation
• Pass non-destructive testing (NDT) for pressure-retaining welds
• Use overhead cranes, jib cranes, and forklifts safely
• Inspect and repair welds to meet code and quality standards

This is hands-on, high-skill welding - not light fabrication or bench work.

• On-site weld test required as part of the interview process
  • Test is aligned with ASME Section IX procedures
  • Designed to reflect the actual work performed in the shop
• Prior ASME code welding experience is required

We believe great welders should show their skill, not just talk about it.

✅ What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of experience welding pressure vessels or pipe (FCAW required)
• High school diploma or trade school certification (welding preferred)
• Ability to pass on-site weld qualification testing
• Ability to read basic instructions and drawings
• Strong attention to safety, quality, and documentation
• Comfortable working in a manufacturing or shop environment
• Willingness to learn and follow safety procedures
• Reliable attendance and teamwork mindset

🕒 Schedule

• Monday–Friday: Day and afternoon shift rotation (details reviewed during interview)
• Overtime opportunities based on business needs

💰 Pay & Benefits

• Starting at $29.79/hour with a structured wage progression program that provides opportunities for scheduled pay increases.
• Shift Differential: Additional $3.00 per hour for qualifying shifts
• Sign-on & Retention Bonus: $500 sign-on bonus at hire and $500 after successfully completing 9 months of employment
• Tool Allowance: One-time reimbursement of up to $250 for eligible job-related tools
• Excellent benefits starting Day 1, including:
  • Medical, dental, vision & prescription coverage
  • 401(k) with generous company match
  • Paid time off (vacation starting at 3 weeks)
  • Tuition reimbursement and learning opportunities
  • Wellness programs and employee events
