Welder Position

Salary $19-$22 per hour

Scelzi Enterprises, Inc. MIG Welders use hand-welding or flame-cutting equipment to weld truck bodies by joining sheet metal components. They grind materials, square parts/materials to fit accordingly, and cut or shorten parts/ materials as needed per blue prints. MIG Welders set up, test, and adjust welding machines to allow correct heat source according to the selected raw material for perfect welds. Welders are independent workers and may be building parts such as tool boxes, ladder racks, doors, sides & floors. Welders who are experienced in fabrication may work in the customs department which includes using any combination of electrical, electronic, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or computer technologies to complete the truck body.
