Automated TIG Welding Technician

Build precision. Power production. Join Acloche in Lancaster as an Automated TIG Welding Technician.

Acloche has immediate temp-to-hire openings for skilled operators who thrive in fast-paced production. Step into a role where advanced automation meets craftsmanship. You’ll work with high-volume automated TIG systems to fabricate custom hydraulic lines and tubular products that support both heavy and light equipment.

A day on the line

From the first bell, you’ll set up your assigned TIG station, confirm calibration, and load programs. You’ll inspect prepped components, verify measurements, and launch the production cycle. Throughout the shift, you’ll monitor operations, fine-tune parameters like speed and feed, and perform periodic checks to ensure weld quality. If an issue appears, you’ll troubleshoot quickly, document findings, and keep output moving. You’ll wrap up with accurate logs, counts, and data entries to lock in a clean handoff.

• Set up automated TIG welding equipment (calibration, cleaning, and preparation) to begin production cycles.
• Control and adjust machine settings (e.g., speed) and run periodic test operations.
• Verify that parts are properly prepped; inspect components using precision tools (calipers, micrometers, etc.).
• Monitor output to detect machine-related errors or defects and correct issues as they arise.
• Keep detailed records of approved/defective units; maintain activity logs.
• Enter setup and production data into the computer to confirm accurate configurations.
• Remain flexible to support any department as business needs shift.
