Role Requirements: • High school diploma or GED. • 4 or more years of welding experience with stainless steel in HVAC/sheet metal or closely related field; strong TIG (GTAW) on thin gauge required. • Demonstrated proficiency controlling heat/distortion on thin-gauge stainless; clean, uniform, code-compliant welds. • Ability to read blueprints, duct drawings, and welding symbols; solid layout and measurement skills. • Familiarity with SMACNA standards; understanding of NFPA 96 for grease duct where applicable. • Experience with back-purging techniques and proper stainless preparation/finishing; basic knowledge of passivation. • OSHA 10 preferred; ability to gain access to state and federal institutions. • Must pass drug test and background check; valid driver’s license and reliable transportation. • Comfortable working at heights, on lifts, ladders, and in varying weather conditions; able to lift up to 75 lbs and perform physically demanding tasks. • Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to safety and quality. • Team-oriented, with the ability to work independently on remote/field assignments.
