Job Description
Job Description
Ready to Build More Than Just Weld Beads?
Location: Itasca, IL
Pay: $22–$28/hr (up to $30/hr DOE) + significant overtime
Schedule: 1st Shift | 5:00 AM – 4:30 PM typical, Saturdays as needed
Type: Contract-to-Hire with strong long-term potential
Ask Yourself…- Do you prefer building custom enclosures over repetitive production work?
- Can you read complex mechanical blueprints and hold tight tolerances?
- Are you confident with MIG on both sheet and structural components?
- Up for overtime when projects ramp (up to 60–65 hrs/week)?
- Tackle full-cycle fabrication: layout, fit-up, weld, and final assembly
- Interpret detailed prints for large, engineered assemblies
- Measure precisely with tape, calipers, and micrometers
- Use saws, grinders, and drills to prep and finish components
- Safely operate overhead cranes to position assemblies
- Verify alignment, squareness, and structural integrity
- MIG welding as a core skill (TIG a plus)
- Precision measurement for tight tolerances
- General fab equipment: saws, grinders, drills
- Shop material handling with cranes and related gear
- 3–5+ years in welding/fabrication ; non-production shop experience preferred
- Strong blueprint literacy, ideally with large assemblies
- Mechanical assembly experience (highly preferred)
- A builder’s mindset—hands-on, detail-driven
- Work that matters: custom industrial enclosures for high-profile data centers
- Growth mode: scaling from ~$30M to ~$80M+ in active orders
- Backed by 100+ years of company history, expanding facilities, and weekly new hires
- Mix of indoor and outdoor work keeps projects interesting
- High odds of long-term conversion; many contractors stay beyond 6 months
- One-step onsite
- Fast decisions—usually within 48 hours
Join a confidential, well-established manufacturer doing big things with global tech leaders. Bring your precision MIG skills and help build the enclosures that power the world’s data.
