WELDERS and FITTERS

A well-established, privately held custom fabrication company in southeastern Pennsylvania builds industrial process equipment — pressure vessels, power plant components, and nuclear-related assemblies — for clients across the country. Every project is engineered to order, which means no two days look the same on the shop floor. This is not a production environment. The work demands welders who understand the science behind the weld, not just the skill of laying a bead. If you're a multidimensional welder/fitter looking to put down roots, grow your career beyond the torch, and join a company that actively develops its people into QC, estimating, project management, and beyond — this is the move.

• $30.00–$34.00/hr, depending on experience
• Night shift differential: 10% (day and night shifts available)
• Full benefits package: Health, Dental, Vision, Vacation/PTO (details provided upon inquiry)
• Relocation assistance available for the right candidate

Overview:

• Fabricate, fit, and weld large industrial process equipment to print — working from blueprints, AWS weld symbols, and process sheets with minimal supervision
• Set up and operate welding machines for FCAW, GMAW, and GTAW processes in multiple positions
• Operate plasma cutters, grinders, overhead cranes, and forklifts as part of daily workflow
• Create fixtures, maintain tight tolerances, and straighten assemblies as required
• Read and execute weld procedures, QC plans, and work instruction documents — then verify your own work against those standards
• Perform basic NDE procedures (LPT and VT) and support x-ray quality welds when required
• Hold dimensional tolerances to 1/64" and recognize when they're at risk

Preferred Skills/Experiences:

• 2- or 4-year technical degree in welding technology or related field preferred
• 5 years of welding/fitting experience — specifically on ASME Code pressure vessels or equivalent engineered-to-order fabrication
• Proficiency in FCAW, GMAW, and GTAW — multi-process capability in multiple positions
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and AWS weld symbols
• Experience working from weld procedure specifications (WPS) and understanding the "why" behind heat input, wire speed, and process selection
• Familiarity with NDE methods: LPT and VT
• Safety-conscious work habits in a manufacturing/fabrication environment
• Career-oriented — interested in growing into QC, estimating, project management, or other technical roles over time
