Job Description

We’re hiring a Resistance Welder Operator / Welder to join our 2nd shift team producing custom metal assemblies for architectural projects.

This role combines operating a resistance welding machine with performing MIG tack welds to prepare assemblies for final fabrication. It’s an excellent opportunity for someone with entry to intermediate welding experience who wants to build their skills in a custom fabrication environment. While this is not a heavy fabrication role, you’ll still need to read blueprints, position components accurately, and ensure assemblies meet quality standards before moving to the next stage of production.

This is a production-focused position where consistency, attention to detail, and pride in quality are critical.

Why Join Us

  • Four-Day Week: Monday through Thursday schedule with three-day weekends.
  • Unlimited Optional Overtime: Increase your earnings with available OT.
  • Direct Hire Day 1: Full benefits and long-term stability from your first day.

Compensation

  • Competitive starting pay based on experience.
  • Unlimited optional overtime.
  • Guaranteed 90-day performance review with raise potential.

2nd Shift

  • 2nd Shift: Monday–Thursday, 5:00 PM – 4:30 AM, overtime as needed

Requirements

Responsibilities

  • Resistance Welding: Operate resistance welding equipment to produce quality welded assemblies.
  • MIG Tack Welding: Apply MIG tack welds to secure components prior to final welding.
  • Blueprint Reading: Read and interpret blueprints, part drawings, and basic weld callouts.
  • Part Positioning: Load, align, and secure components in welding fixtures for accurate assembly.
  • Quality Inspection: Verify weld quality, alignment, and dimensions before parts move to the next operation.
  • Material Handling: Move parts and assemblies safely throughout the production process.
  • Equipment Operation: Perform basic machine setup and make routine adjustments for different part configurations.
  • Preventive Maintenance: Keep welding equipment and work area clean while performing basic daily maintenance checks.
  • Safety Compliance: Follow all welding, machine operation, and shop safety procedures.
  • Team Support: Work closely with fabricators and welders to maintain production flow and quality standards.

Required

  • High school diploma or GED
  • Previous manufacturing, fabrication, or welding experience.
  • Basic MIG welding experience with the ability to produce clean tack welds.
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality.
  • Ability to lift materials and stand for extended periods throughout the shift.

Preferred

  • Experience operating resistance welding equipment.
  • Experience working in a fabrication or metal manufacturing environment.

About Laborup

Laborup is the #1 AI powered talent platform for America’s industrial workforce. We use AI to create jobs, not take them away. We help HR and plant leaders hire and keep the skilled workers who keep plants running: machinists, welders, maintenance techs, operators, industrial electricians, and engineers. USA Today called us the “LinkedIn for blue collar workers,” and Forbes profiled our work in “How AI Is Solving America’s 1 Trillion Dollar Manufacturing Labor Crisis.”

Today we work with manufacturers from 50 person shops to large public companies with tens of thousands of employees, and the story is the same everywhere. It is hard to find talent, hard to keep good people, and staffing costs keep rising. In a market where filling critical industrial roles can take months and turnover is constant, Laborup helps teams move qualified workers from first contact to on site interview in days instead of weeks and keep them on the floor longer.

Most of the workers our customers need are not on LinkedIn or the usual job boards. Laborup uses AI to find this hidden workforce, call and text them, screen and qualify them, build real profiles, and match them directly to the plants and roles where they can succeed. For workers, that means real, permanent roles at serious manufacturers, not one off gigs. For companies, it is durable infrastructure for hiring and retention at scale in a labor market that will stay tight for years.

We work across nuclear, defense, and advanced manufacturing, as well as sectors like aerospace, automotive, and food production. Teams that use Laborup hire 5 to 10 times faster, see around 3 times better retention, and cut cost per hire by up to 50 to 70 percent. That turns into fewer empty shifts, fewer missed orders, more stable teams, and more capacity without more headache.

We are building the modern talent system for America’s industrial base with a simple long term goal: put a billion industrial workers to work in good jobs that matter.
