A t Koch companies, we are entrepreneurs. This means we openly challenge the status quo, find new ways to create value and get rewarded for our individual contributions.

We are seeking skilled, versatile by-hand welders for seasonal, project-based work to install and weld Koch-Glitsch mass transfer equipment and tower internals. This role combines hands-on welding and fabrication with mechanical installation of column internals (trays, packing supports, distributors, redistributors, demisters, supports and structural attachments). The ideal candidate is mechanically minded, comfortable working in confined spaces and at heights, and experienced welding thin-gauge and stainless materials commonly used in mass transfer internals.

What You Will Do

- Install, align, fit-up, tack, and finish welds on mass transfer internals and non-pressure components per drawings and site procedures.
- Perform hand welding (SMAW, TIG/GTAW, GMAW/MIG as required) on stainless steel, carbon steel, and light alloys used for internals and supports.
- Read and interpret layout drawings, assembly drawings, punch lists, material lists, and job-specific installation instructions.
- Perform field fabrication and small-assembly work: cut, bevel, grind, drill, fit and tack pieces to proper tolerances.
- Install and secure internals (tray decks, packing supports, liquid distributors, redistributors, demister systems, feed/collectors) inside process towers and vessels.
- Work from scaffolding, man-lifts, ladders and inside confined spaces; perform secure rigging and hoisting for component placement.
- Maintain welding quality through correct selection of consumables, heat control,



and weld technique suitable for non-pressure applications and thin sections to avoid burn-through.
- Follow hot-work permits, lockout/tagout, confined space, fall protection, and site-specific safety procedures.
- Collaborate with project leads, riggers, inspectors and other trades to meet schedule and quality targets.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

- Previous experience with hands-on welding and field fabrication in field/industrial environments.
- Strong experience welding stainless steels (304/316/duplex), thin-gauge sheet metal, and common carbon steels used for internals.
- Proven ability to perform quality welds for non-pressure internals (fit-up on thin material, tack-weld control to minimize distortion).
- Able to read and work from mechanical/assembly drawings, layouts and basic hand sketches.
- Good mechanical aptitude: competence with measuring tools layout and marking, hand wrenches and battery-operated tools, welding and grinding tools,
- Valid certifications of H2S Alive, ESC Confined Space Entry, ESC Fall Protection, and Intermediate First Aid
- Re
