- 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.

- 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
