Welding Jobs at Our Company
Skilled positions include CNC Machining, Welding and Sheet Metal Fabrication. These positions generally require a minimum of one year of experience and a willingness to work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Entry-level positions include assembly, machine operation and general labor. Although these positions do not require prior experience, previous exposure to plant operations and/or mechanical work is helpful.

Both entry-level and skilled positions require working a rotating shift on either a two or three shift basis. In addition, most plant operations positions pay on a piecework basis. That means pay is based directly on output.

All of these positions offer excellent opportunities for quality-conscious, productivity-minded individuals who are interested in being rewarded for their excellent performance.
