Structural Welder @ Aerotek

Job Title: Structural WelderJob DescriptionThis role focuses on production welding skids for data cooling centers across multiple projects. You will perform FCAW and GMAW welding on light-gauge steel, aluminum, and stainless steel in a high-volume, modern manufacturing environment. While you will receive support with fitting, the ability to fit independently is a strong asset.

Responsibilities

• Perform structural welding on skids for data cooling centers using FCAW and GMAW processes on light-gauge steel, aluminum, and stainless steel.
• Read and interpret blueprints and work instructions to complete welding tasks accurately and efficiently.
• Work across three different projects, adapting to slight variations in welding requirements and procedures.
• Collaborate with fitters and other team members, and perform fitting tasks independently when required.
• Operate welding equipment and related tools safely and in accordance with established procedures and standards.
• Maintain high-quality welds that meet CWB requirements and internal quality specifications.
• Multi-task and manage multiple jobs in a fast-paced manufacturing environment while meeting production targets.
• Perform skid welding with consistent quality and adherence to project specifications.
• Use shears and press brakes when needed, contributing to fabrication and preparation of materials.
• Participate in a four-day orientation, including three days of classroom training and a fourth day on-the-job evaluation and training, and successfully pass the evaluation.
• Follow all safety protocols, including wearing a respirator when required and complying with facility safety rules.
• Lift and handle materials up to 50 pounds as part of daily welding and fabrication activities.
• Work overtime on weekdays and/or weekends when required to support production demands.
• Maintain a clean, organized work area in a brand-new, modern shop environment.
• Support cross-training initiatives and be open to learning new processes and equipment to broaden skills.

Essential Skills

• Journeyman welder certification or status as a 3rd year welding apprentice.
• CWB FCAW or GMAW ticket in at least one position (recently expired tickets are acceptable).
• Proficiency in flux core (FCAW) and MIG (GMAW) welding.
• Experience with structural welding, including skid welding.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints accurately.
• Comfort working with light-gauge steel, aluminum, and stainless steel.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and manage multiple tasks.
• Willingness to work overtime on weekdays and/or weekends when required.
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds safely and repeatedly.
• Comfort being clean shaven and wearing a respirator when required.
• Ability to successfully complete and pass a multi-day orientation and on-the-job evaluation.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Fitting experience and ability to perform own fitting work.
• Experience using shears and press brakes in a fabrication environment.
• Experience with TIG welding in addition to FCAW and GMAW.
• Familiarity with stick welding and mild steel welding processes.

Why Work Here? You will work in a very large, clean, brand-new facility with long-term projects planned well into 2027, providing strong job stability beyond traditional oil and gas cycles. The environment includes a comfortable lunch room, structured orientation and training, and clear pathways to permanent employment. Employees benefit from cross-training opportunities, promotion potential, and a supportive culture that invests in skill development and career growth while maintaining standard paid work hours and built-in break periods.

Work EnvironmentThis position is based in a brand-new, clean manufacturing shop focused on data cooling center projects. The role is on a third shift schedule from 9:45 p.m. to 6:15 a.m., Monday through Friday. Before starting on nights, you will complete a four-day orientation: three days in the classroom and a fourth day dedicated to on-the-job evaluation and training, with options for morning (7:00 a.m. 3:00 p.m.) or afternoon (3:00 p.m. 11:00 p.m.) orientation times. The facility offers a nice lunch room and a modern, well-organized workspace.

The shift structure includes eight hours of paid work with two paid 15-minute shuttle periods, one paid 15-minute rest break, and one unpaid 30-minute meal break. The environment uses welding equipment for FCAW, GMAW, TIG, and stick processes, along with shears and press brakes for fabrication. Employees are expected to be clean shaven when required to wear a respirator and to follow all safety and PPE guidelines appropriate to a structural welding and fabrication setting.
