• Lead by example: set pace, uphold quality, mentor welders, and maintain a safe, sharp work environment.

• Work directly from blueprints, isometrics, welding symbols , and complex technical drawings.

• Oversee purge welding setups to eliminate oxidation and guarantee flawless interior quality.

• Balance shop and field work, adapting quickly to changing job needs and environments.

• 3–5+ years of hands‑on TIG welding experience in stainless steel process piping and 6G work.

• Complete confidence reading and interpreting technical drawings and weld symbols.

• Strong awareness of metallurgical behavior in stainless steel and related alloys.

• Steady hands, sharp eyes for detail, and the skill to weld consistently in any position.

• A commitment to safety — yours, your team’s, and the shop’s.

• A 6G welding certification — the gold standard of welding skill.

• Experience welding 2‑inch Schedule 80 pipe, especially in high‑pressure systems.

• Strong Experience in back‑purge setups and contamination prevention.

• You won’t be stuck doing the same weld all day — every project brings a new challenge.

• Split your time between a brand‑new, clean Phoenix shop and engaging field assignments.

• Enjoy consistent overtime (10–20 hours/week) with minimal weekend work.

• Be part of a team that takes pride in quality workmanship and values its welders.

• Competitive pay with long‑term stability and room to grow.

• 1st Shift: 5:00 AM – 3:30 PM
