We are looking for a skilled Welder with at least two years of manufacturing experience and a strong command of TIG welding. You will be working on components that require precision, traceability, and conformance to engineering drawings. This is not structural ironwork or general fabrication. It is component-level welding for an industry where quality is not optional. If you hold a technical welding certificate and take pride in clean, code-quality work, this role offers the environment and consistency you are looking for.
Company Overview
We are a precision manufacturing and fabrication supplier serving the oil and gas sector. Our work involves pressure-containing components, structural supports, and custom assemblies that must meet strict customer specifications and industry standards.
Unlike high-volume production shops, we operate with engineering oversight and quality control at every stage. Our welders do not just follow orders they read drawings, select appropriate filler metals and shielding gases, and inspect their own work before it moves to the next station. We invest in people who treat welding as a craft, not just a task. If you are looking for a shop that respects skill and expects accountability, this is it.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform TIG, MIG, and Stick welding operations to join and fabricate metal components in accordance with engineering drawings and welding procedure specifications.
- Read and interpret blueprints, welding symbols, and fabrication drawings to determine joint configurations, material thickness, and weld sequence.
- Conduct visual inspection of completed welds to verify penetration, bead profile, fusion, and freedom from surface defects.
- Set up, adjust, and maintain welding equipment including power sources, wire feeders, torches, and gas regulators.
- Select appropriate filler metals, shielding gases, and tungsten electrodes based on base material and specified procedure.
- Operate cutting torches and plasma arc equipment for beveling, gouging, and material preparation as required.
- Monitor consumable inventory and communicate replenishment needs to supervisors or materials planning.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and hazard-free work area in compliance with 5S and company housekeeping standards.
- Participate in training sessions and stay current with advancements in welding technology, filler metals, and process techniques.
- Respond calmly and effectively to emergency situations requiring immediate physical action.
Qualifications
Required:
- Minimum 2 years of welding experience in a manufacturing, fabrication, or production environment.
- Valid technical certificate in welding from a recognized institution or trade school.
- Strong proficiency in TIG welding process this is the primary process used in our manufacturing line.
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and welding symbols with accuracy.
- Competent use of hand tools, jigs, fixtures, and measuring instruments.
- Working knowledge of various welding rods, filler metals, shielding gases, and their appropriate applications.
- Understanding of basic quality requirements, including weld profile, penetration, and defect recognition.
- Experience using oxy-fuel cutting torches and plasma cutting equipment.
- Knowledge of appropriate preheat and interpass temperatures for special materials and alloy groups.
- Physical capacity to stand for extended periods, lift up to 25 kilograms, and respond quickly in emergency situations.
Preferred:
- Experience in MIG welding processes is a strong advantage.
- Prior work experience in oil and gas, pressure equipment, or critical service component manufacturing.
- Familiarity with ASME Section IX, AWS D1.1, or equivalent welding codes.
Benefits and Perks
- Competitive compensation 42$ commensurate with skill level, certification, and demonstrated proficiency.
- Full-time stable employment within a manufacturing facility supporting the oil and gas supply chain.
- Engineering-driven environment. You work from drawings and procedures, not verbal instructions.
- Emphasis on skill recognition. Welders who produce consistent quality are valued and retained.
- Clean, organized workshop with proper ventilation, lighting, and equipment maintenance.
- Opportunity to work with exotic alloys and specialty materials not commonly found in structural shops.
- Training and upskilling support for welders seeking to expand process qualifications or code certifications.
How to Apply
If you are a technically trained welder with at least two years of manufacturing experience and strong TIG welding capability, we encourage you to apply.
Please submit your resume and clear copies of your welding certificate(s) and any relevant qualification documents through the application portal or contact details provided in the job posting. In your cover letter or email, briefly describe your experience with TIG welding and the types of materials or components you have worked with.
Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for a practical welding assessment and technical interview. Be prepared to discuss your experience reading drawings, selecting filler metals, and working to quality requirements.
