• Assist with welder qualification, testing, and certification activities
• Support employee training related to welding, fitting, fabrication, and quality standards
• Maintain drawing control and other quality-related processes
• Work with production and management teams to investigate and correct quality issues
• Participate in continuous improvement projects and company training
• Promote safe work practices and support workplace safety initiatives

Requirements

• 2+ years of structural steel fabrication experience
• Previous experience in quality control, inspection, or a related manufacturing position
• Working knowledge of AWS D1.1, AWS D1.5, and AISC standards
• Ability to read and understand fabrication drawings and specifications
• Experience using structural steel inspection equipment, including:
  • Fillet weld gauges
  • V-WAC gauges

• Current Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) certification
• Experience with nondestructive testing (NDT), including:
  • Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
  • Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
  • Penetrant Testing (PT)
• Additional certifications involving structural steel fabrication, bolting, coatings, or welding inspection
• Previous experience working in a steel manufacturing or fabrication environment

Pay

Up to $32/hour, depending on experience.
