Mechanical Assembler / TIG Welder
$22.58-$28.99/hour DOE

Sapphire Recruitment is seeking a skilled Mechanical Assembler / TIG Welder for a hands-on role building custom industrial equipment. This is not a repetitive production welding job. It is ideal for someone with strong mechanical aptitude, print-reading ability, and troubleshooting skills who can think through layouts, solve problems in the shop, and help bring complex custom systems together.

Welding is a critical part of the role, but it makes up only about 30% of the job. The rest involves mechanical assembly, pipefitting, system integration, testing, and supporting installations.

Responsibilities:

• Read and interpret prints, drawings, models, and work instructions

• Perform TIG and MIG welding, primarily on stainless steel

• Fabricate, assemble, and integrate custom mechanical systems and piping

• Lay out and fit piping, cut materials to length, and support copper piping and soldering work

• Troubleshoot mechanical and electrical fit-up issues when drawings or components require adjustment

• Assist with assembly, alignment, testing, crating, and shipment preparation

• Operate shop and material handling equipment safely, including forklifts and overhead cranes

• Support equipment installation and service at customer sites as needed

• Follow safety and quality standards and work collaboratively across departments

Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent

• 3+ years of experience in welding, fabrication, mechanical assembly, millwright work, or related skilled trades

• Strong ability to read prints and visualize layout for custom builds

• AWS certified or certifiable; ASME B31.3 process piping experience is highly preferred

• Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting ability

• Experience with TIG welding required; MIG experience also helpful

• Comfortable working with custom equipment rather than repetitive production work

• Willingness to work overtime and travel up to 25%, including occasional extended domestic or international travel

• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. and work in an active manufacturing environment

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys building, figuring things out, and working with a variety of skills in a highly customized manufacturing setting. Trade school candidates with solid foundational skills may also be considered.
