Welder

Job Title: Precision TIG Welder

Job Description

This role focuses on high-precision, cosmetic GTAW/TIG welding of thin-wall stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel tubing and components used in geotechnical and structural monitoring equipment. You will perform repetitive bench-style welding using fixtures, jigs, and rotating weld setups to produce customer-facing parts with tight tolerances and consistently clean weld appearance. In addition to precision welding, you will support light fabrication, sheet metal work, and general shop tasks in a clean, organized machine shop environment with long-term growth potential.

Responsibilities

• Perform high-quality GTAW/TIG welding on thin-wall stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel tubing and components for precision instrumentation assemblies.
• Produce clean, cosmetic welds on customer-facing parts where welds are not ground down, ensuring excellent appearance and consistency.
• Work primarily on thin-wall tubing, precision instrumentation components, sensor housings, and cylindrical assemblies using bench-style setups.
• Use fixtures, jigs, and rotating weld setups to maintain repeatable, high-precision weld quality in a production environment.
• Read and interpret blueprints and engineering drawings to understand weld requirements, tolerances, and assembly specifications.
• Maintain strong hand control and steady welding technique to meet tight tolerance requirements on precision workpieces.
• Perform light fabrication and sheet metal tasks such as bending, minor fabrication, and fitting as needed to support production.
• Support occasional larger rough fabrication jobs while maintaining a focus on precision and quality.
• Contribute to repetitive production work while balancing quality, throughput, and adherence to engineering standards.
• Collaborate with a small, quality-focused team and an experienced welder to support proprietary and internal manufacturing processes.
• Follow all safety procedures, use required PPE, and support a safety-first culture in the machine shop.
• Keep the work area clean, organized, and compliant with shop standards to support efficient and accurate production.

Essential Skills

• 10+ years of TIG/GTAW welding experience, with strong focus on precision and cosmetic TIG welding.
• Valid Red Seal Welding Certification or BC Provincial Welding Certification.
• Proven experience welding thin-wall stainless steel tubing and components, producing clean, customer-facing welds without grinding or cover-up.
• Experience welding aluminum and carbon steel with strong hand control and a steady welding technique suited to precision work.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and engineering drawings for precision assemblies.
• Experience working with fixtures, jigs, and rotating weld setups in repetitive production environments.
• Back check in production or manufacturing settings, ideally involving precision components.
• High level of attention to detail and commitment to consistent weld quality.
• Positive attitude, reliability, and a professional, safety-conscious approach to work.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience in instrumentation or sensor manufacturing environments.
• Back check in precision enclosure or stainless steel fabrication.
• Experience in machinery manufacturing environments.
• Light fabrication and sheet metal experience, including bending, minor fabrication, and fitting.
• Experience building or modifying jigs and fixtures to improve consistency and efficiency.
• Familiarity with production welding environments where quality and throughput must be balanced.
• Experience with cosmetic stainless finishing and chemical cleaning processes.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and comfort working in a precision machine shop.
• Ability to work effectively in a quiet, focused environment with minimal supervision.

Why Work Here?

You will join a stable, growing business that invests in high-quality, precision manufacturing and values the contributions of skilled tradespeople. The company offers benefits and vacation during the contract period, along with the potential to transition into a long-term permanent role under global ownership. You will work in a clean, bright, and organized facility with a strong safety culture and safety-first leadership, alongside a highly experienced welder. The day-shift schedule supports work-life balance, and you will have the opportunity to work on highly specialized precision products and contribute to proprietary internal manufacturing processes in a supportive, quality-focused environment.

Work Environment

This position is based in a precision machine shop and manufacturing environment that emphasizes quality, precision, and safety. Work is primarily bench-style TIG welding in a quiet, heads-down atmosphere as part of a small team focused on tight tolerances and consistent results. The schedule is a day shift from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday to Friday, with overtime expected during busy periods. The work involves repetitive production tasks on precision components, using fixtures, jigs, and rotating weld setups. The facility is clean, bright, and well organized, with PPE and uniforms provided, including safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves, and other protective equipment as required. The culture encourages speaking up—ideas, suggestions, and opinions are welcomed and considered—supporting a collaborative and safety-first environment.
