What are the responsibilities and job description for the Welder / Marine Construction position at G&H Marine Inc.?
G&H Marine Inc.
Structural Welder / Marine Construction
This is NOT a shop welding job.
If you're looking to stand at a welding table all day, this isn't the position for you.
At G&H Marine, we build docks, marinas, seawalls, boat lifts, and heavy marine structures throughout Illinois and surrounding states. Every project is different, and nearly all welding is performed in the field.
What We're Looking For
You need to be someone who:
- Has real SMAW welding experience
- Can consistently produce quality structural welds in the field
- Doesn't mind physical labor
- Shows up every day ready to work
- Can travel when projects require it
- Takes pride in doing quality work
- Works well with a crew and follows direction
A valid driver's license is required.
Construction or marine experience is a plus.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
This job is a combination of structural welding and construction labor.
On any given day you may be:
- Field welding structural steel using SMAW (7018 rod)
- Install, fit, and weld structural steel components on active construction sites
- Carrying steel, lumber, hardware, and equipment
- Operating grinders, torches, generators, power tools, forklifts, and construction equipment
- Working from barges, docks, lifts, or around water
- Traveling to job sites throughout Illinois and surrounding states
- Working outdoors in the heat, cold, rain, mud, and snow
If you're looking for an easy welding job in a climate-controlled shop, this isn't it.
