Job Description

TIG Welder (Stainless Pipe | 6G) — $38-40/hour, 1st shift

Tired of slop work, weak teams, or dead-end shops?

If you’re a skilled TIG welder who takes pride in clean, precision stainless work—but you’re stuck in a shop that cuts corners, underpays, or doesn’t challenge you—this is your way out.

We’re looking for true craftsmen who want to work with high-end stainless process piping, run clean beads, and be surrounded by people who actually know what they’re doing.

What Makes This Different

• ✅ Real stainless pipe welding — not repetitive junk work
• ✅ Advanced 6G TIG projects — the kind that builds your reputation
• ✅ Clean, modern shop (not a rundown, smoky hole)
• ✅ Consistent overtime — actually hit your earning potential
• ✅ Respect for your skill — you won’t be babysat or micromanaged

What You’ll Be Doing (The Work That Matters)

• Running high-quality TIG (GTAW) on stainless steel pipe in 6G positions
• Producing full-penetration welds for critical + high-pressure systems
• Performing open root welds (Schedule 10–160, Schedule 80)
• Handling prep work the right way — beveling, fit-up, alignment, root gaps
• Executing back purging like a pro (no sugaring, no garbage welds)
• Reading prints and actually understanding what you’re building
• Working on real fabrication projects — process piping, stairs, ladders, and more

Bottom line: If you take pride in clean welds and doing things right, you’ll finally be in a place that matches your standards.

What You Bring

• 3–5+ years TIG welding (stainless pipe)
• Strong 6G experience (this is non-negotiable)
• Experience with open root + purge welding
• Ability to read blueprints without hand-holding
• Knowledge of stainless metallurgy and weld integrity
• A mindset of “do it right the first time”

Bonus Points If You’ve Done:

• 2” Schedule 80 stainless pipe in critical applications
• Oil & gas, process piping, or high-pressure systems
• Flux core / MIG for fabrication support

Why People Leave Their Jobs for This One

• 50+ hours consistently (real OT, not empty promises)
• 5x10 schedule — get your hours without chaos
• Rare weekend work — have a life outside the shop
• Opportunity to work both shop and field (no monotony)
• Be part of a crew that actually cares about quality

Work Environment

• Clean, organized shop in Phoenix, AZ
• Professional-grade equipment (200+ AMP TIG machines)
• Strong safety culture — PPE is respected, not ignored
• Team of skilled welders who pull their weight

⚡ Who This Is Perfect For

• The welder who’s better than their current shop
• The guy fixing everyone else’s bad welds
• Someone tired of production-over-quality BS
• A craftsman who wants to build real skill + make real money
