Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a Welder/Fabricator to join an industrial machinery manufacturer in Fairfield, OH.

This is position is onsite Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–3:30 PM (40 hours/week), with some overtime as needed.

This company builds precision fabricated and welded assemblies for both aerospace/defense and industrial customers - tight-tolerance weldments and components that don't leave room for shortcuts. They hold every job to AS9100 aerospace quality standards, even on their industrial work, so the same precision applies across the board.

We're looking for a Welder/Fabricator who knows their way around a TIG torch and a set of prints, and who wants to put that skill to work on parts that actually matter. We prefer candidates with solid TIG welding experience, but we're also open to a hard-working individual willing to learn and grow their skills on the job.

This individual will spend approximately 50% of their time welding and 50% performing assembly and prep work on high-precision aerospace/defense and industrial hardware, not commodity fabrication.

Day-to-Day:

• Fabricating, welding, and assembling components and assemblies to tight tolerances, working closely with our engineering and design teams
• TIG welding stainless, carbon steel, aluminum, and similar materials (pre-employment weld test required: 6G stainless pipe, 3G vertical-up aluminum plate)
• Pipe welding and mechanical assembly - torquing fasteners, bending tube runs, swaging fittings
• Reading and working from engineering drawings using GD&T, following weld symbols and procedures
• Planning your own sequence of operations, laying out work, and using precision measuring devices to hold spec
• Operating a vertical mill, horizontal lathe, band saw, drill press, and standard hand tools
• Working within AS9100 quality and aerospace requirements

This is a contract-to-hire opportunity intended for candidates interested in long-term employment. The hourly pay ranges from $25/hr - $35/hr.

Exact compensation may vary and will be based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.
