Job Summary
We are seeking a reliable, skilled, and detail-oriented Welder to join our manufacturing team in Mansfield, MA. In this role, you will primarily support high-volume production welding, while occasionally contributing to custom prototype work. You will work extensively with various grades of carbon steel and stainless steel, handling both fabrication and final assembly tasks.
This is an excellent opportunity for a dependable professional looking to expand their technical skill set and earn specialized, in-house ASME welding certifications.

Fixture Setup: Set up shop fixtures and lay out work blueprints for both standard production runs and new prototypes.
Automation Support: Operate programmed/mechanized welding machines for automated production units and assist machine operators during peak high-volume cycles.
Quality Assurance: Ensure all completed welds meet rigorous internal quality standards, including passing destructive and non-destructive testing (NDT) where applicable.
Certifications & Testing Requirements
While formal external certifications are not required for non-ASME parts, ASME welding certifications are required for pressure vessel work and must be completed in-house according to our company weld procedures.
Candidates who are not currently certified but can successfully pass our practical in-house weld test will be fully considered. Required in-house certification capabilities include:
