Build Excellence. Own Quality. Lead the Standard.

Are you the type of welding professional who notices what others miss? Do you take pride in ensuring every weld, every fit-up, and every finished product meets the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality?

If so, we want you on our team.

We are seeking an experienced Quality Control Welding Inspector who combines hands-on welding expertise with a passion for quality, precision, and continuous improvement. In this highly visible role, you’ll be the quality champion on the shop floor-ensuring that every welded and fabricated component leaving our facility reflects the craftsmanship, safety, and performance our customers expect.

This is more than an inspection role. It’s an opportunity to influence quality, mentor skilled welders, solve complex manufacturing challenges, and play a critical role in the success of our operations.

Why You’ll Love This Opportunity

+ Be the voice of quality in a growing manufacturing environment.

+ Work alongside highly skilled welders, fabricators, and production professionals.

+ Make a direct impact on product integrity, customer satisfaction, and operational excellence.

+ Use your welding expertise to coach, mentor, and improve processes.

+ Join a company that values craftsmanship, accountability, and professional growth.

What You’ll Do

As our Quality Control Welding Inspector, you will be responsible for ensuring welded and fabricated products consistently meet engineering requirements, quality standards, and customer expectations.

Key Responsibilities

+ Perform in-process and final inspections of welded and fabricated assemblies.

+ Conduct detailed visual weld inspections, identifying defects including:

+ Porosity

+ Cracking

+ Undercut

+ Complete and maintain accurate:

+ Weld maps

+ Inspection reports

+ Quality records

+ Traceability documentation

+ Evaluate non-conforming welds and recommend appropriate repair methods.

+ Partner with welders and fabrication teams to improve quality, consistency, and performance.

+ Investigate quality concerns and support corrective and preventive actions.

+ Participate in root cause analysis and continuous improvement initiatives.

+ Ensure quality documentation is complete, accurate, and audit-ready.

+ Champion a culture of safety, accountability, craftsmanship, and excellence throughout the organization.

What Makes You Successful

You’re a hands-on manufacturing professional who understands that quality isn’t inspected into a product-it’s built into it.

You combine strong technical knowledge with the confidence to make decisions, communicate effectively, and help others succeed.

Required Qualifications

+ Proven experience in TIG welding and fabrication within a manufacturing or production environment.

+ Strong ability to read and interpret:

+ Blueprints

+ Technical drawings

+ Weld symbols

+ Fabrication specifications

+ Experience performing visual weld inspections and quality evaluations.

+ Thorough understanding of weld defects, root causes, and repair procedures.

+ Experience maintaining weld maps, inspection records, and quality documentation.

+ Strong knowledge of fabrication processes, welding procedures, and manufacturing workflows.

+ Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills.

+ Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

+ Ability to provide constructive feedback and collaborate across departments.

+ Demonstrated problem-solving skills and commitment to quality excellence.

Preferred Qualifications

+ Previous experience in a fabrication shop, welding facility, or heavy manufacturing environment.

+ Quality assurance or quality control experience in a production setting.

+ Experience identifying, troubleshooting, and eliminating recurring weld quality issues.

+ Experience supporting continuous improvement and operational excellence initiatives.

+ Knowledge of industry welding and inspection standards.

+ Welding Inspector certifications or related quality certifications are a plus.

What We Offer

We believe great people build great products. That’s why we invest in our employees and create an environment where skilled professionals can thrive.

You’ll Enjoy

You’ll spend time on the production floor working directly with welders, fabricators, and production teams while utilizing blueprints, weld maps, measuring instruments, and inspection tools to verify products meet the highest standards of safety, quality, and performance.

Ready to Raise the Standard?
