Welder l

About the role

At Solar's Wamego facility, welders aren't just fabricators — they're precision craftsmen shaping the future of energy. In this role, you'll gain hands-on experience with Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG), using .035 wire to tack and weld parts in flat and horizontal positions. You'll also work with robotic welding systems and GTAW (TIG), expanding your capabilities through training and experience. But welding here isn't just about joining metal — it's about building to blueprint. You'll read and interpret engineering drawings, fabricate parts to spec, and follow standard work processes in a team-focused environment. Collaboration is key, and your input matters. You'll also be trained to operate jib and overhead cranes, manually positioning heavy fabrications in one- and two-person stalls. It's a role that blends technical skill and teamwork — all in a facility that values safety, growth, and craftsmanship.
