🔥 Weld What Holds It All Together. Build Infrastructure That Lasts.
Traveling Field Construction Welder

If you’re a skilled welder who thrives in the field — working from blueprints, solving problems hands‑on, and delivering quality welds where performance truly matters — this role was built for you.

As a Traveling Field Construction Welder, you won’t just be welding parts. You’ll be fabricating and repairing semi‑complex components that support critical construction and industrial operations. Your craftsmanship, accuracy, and commitment to safety ensure that structures perform as designed in real‑world conditions.

This is a role for someone who values precision, accountability, and pride in their welds.

🔥 Why This Role Is Different

• Your welds directly impact safety, performance, and structural integrity

• You’ll work across multiple welding processes — not just one

• You’re trusted to read drawings, make adjustments, and recommend improvements

• You’ll support real construction and field operations — not just shop work

• You’ll have access to training and AWS certification opportunities

• You’ll be part of a team that values quality, ownership, and continuous improvement

🛠 What You’ll Be Doing

• Performing welding operations using SMAW, FCAW, GMAW, GMAW‑P, TIG, and Carbon Arc welding

• Interpreting engineered drawings, weld symbols, and dimensions

• Fitting, aligning, calibrating, and adjusting components to meet exact tolerances

• Fabricating and repairing semi‑complex parts from raw materials

• Following red‑line changes and recommending process or design improvements

• Troubleshooting and repairing consumable failures (spring liners, nozzle insulators, tips, etc.)

• Using hand and power tools including grinders and chipping hammers

• Troubleshooting welding machines and equipment issues

• Entering labor hours into the ERP system (SAP)

• Supporting daily housekeeping and 5S initiatives

• Working closely with supervisors, managers, and peers to deliver quality work on schedule

• Meeting internal and external customer expectations consistently

📍 Where You’ll Make an Impact

You’ll support field and construction operations, fabricating and repairing components that must meet exact standards in demanding environments. Your work contributes directly to job‑site success, safety, and customer satisfaction.

🎯 What We’re Looking For

• High school diploma or equivalent

• 2+ years of relevant welding or fabrication experience (or equivalent education and experience)

• Proven proficiency in:

  • SMAW

  • FCAW

  • GMAW / GMAW‑P

  • TIG

  • Carbon Arc welding

• Strong ability to read and interpret blueprints and weld symbols

• Experience operating a wide range of hand and power tools

• Willingness and ability to obtain AWS certifications (training provided)

• Mechanical aptitude and problem‑solving skills

• Strong safety mindset and attention to detail

• Ability to work independently while collaborating with field and shop teams

💪 The Kind of Welder Who Thrives Here

You know a good weld isn’t just about looks — it’s about penetration, tolerance, and performance. You follow procedures, but you also speak up when something can be improved. You take pride in clean, consistent work and understand that your welds carry responsibility long after the job is done.
