Experienced Aluminum MIG Welder/Fabricator

We’re Building Our Team.

At TEFSCO, we’re looking for someone who enjoys working with their hands, solving problems, and taking ownership of their work.

  • Prepare and clean aluminum surfaces to ensure sound welds.
  • Inspect completed welds and correct defects as needed.
  • Maintain equipment and keep a clean, organized work area.
  • Follow shop safety procedures and meet production deadlines.
