About the Opportunity

A well-established U.S.-based manufacturer of rugged, mission-critical equipment is hiring experienced Welders to support continued growth at its Cincinnati facility. This role offers long-term stability, consistent first-shift hours, and the opportunity to work on high-quality, code-compliant fabrication in a professional production environment.

Candidates must be comfortable with hands-on welding assessments and open to overtime as production demands require.

What Youll Do

• Perform high-quality welding on fabricated components used in manufacturing
• Weld using metal-cored wire in pulse-spray transfer
• Work in 5G and 6G positions on square tubing
• Set up and adjust welding machines independently
• Read and follow Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS)
• Inspect welds for quality, penetration, and consistency
• Interpret blueprints, weld symbols, and acceptance criteria
• Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work area
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and production goals

Hands-On Weld Test (Required)

As part of the interview process, candidates will complete a practical weld test evaluating:

• Arc control, travel speed, bead consistency, and penetration
• Machine setup and parameter selection
• Proper interpretation and use of WPS
• Overall weld quality and workmanship

What Youll Need

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Minimum 5+ years of welding experience in a manufacturing environment
• Strong experience with metal-cored wire (pulse process)
• Ability to weld in all positions (including 5G & 6G)
• Ability to pass in-house weld certification testing
• Ability to work overtime as required
• Must pass drug screen and background check

Why This Role Stands Out

• Stable first-shift schedule with overtime opportunities
• Competitive hourly pay with long-term growth potential
• High-quality work environment with strong safety culture
• Full benefits package including health, dental, vision, 401(k)
• Work on meaningful, high-spec fabrication projects
