- OSHA 10 training is preferred and ability to become certified.
- Basic computer literacy for data entry into manufacturing execution systems (MES/ERP).
Skills & Abilities:- Strong manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination for precision joint fit-up and torch/orbital head control.
- Solid understanding of metallurgy, filler metals, and shielding gas selection for stainless steel and specialty alloys.
- Detail-oriented with a strong quality mindset and ability to self-inspect work to zero-defect standards.
- Effective written and verbal communication; able to collaborate with engineering, quality, and production teams.
- Ability to work independently under general supervision, using standard operating procedures to resolve routine problems. Physical Requirements & Work Environment:
