Description
🏢 **About Us:**
A custom metal fabrication shop in Miami, FL, is seeking a TIG Welder specializing in stainless steel architectural elements. We don't weld heavy-wall gas pipes—our focus is on decorative and functional pieces: stair railings, balcony balustrades, retail display frames, and food-service equipment. Unlike rough structural welding, our welds are often customer-facing, requiring symmetry, flawless prep, and meticulous cleanup.
📋 **Core Responsibilities:**
• Welding AISI 304 and 430 stainless steel (thicknesses from 1.5 mm to 4 mm).
• Reading simple sketches/blueprints and perfectly aligning joints prior to tacking.
• TIG welding in argon with filler wire.
• Post-weld cleanup: mechanical brushing, abrasive blending, and pickling/passivation to prevent rust.
• Autonomous shop organization: managing your own workstation without constant supervision.
🎓 **Requirements:**
• 2+ years of TIG welding experience, specifically with stainless steel.
• Understanding of heat distortion control (stainless warps easily if not managed).
• Pride in producing welds that look like a "stack of dimes" right off the gun.
✨ **What We Offer:**
• Target Salary: $55,000 USD annually.
• Full-time, on-site role in Miami, FL.
• Steady backlog of custom orders, official employment, and bi-weekly pay.
