Custom Metal Enclosure Builder – Precision MIG Welder

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)?

If yes, here’s what you’ll do:

  • 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

Tools & Techniques You’ll Use

  • 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

What You Need to Bring

  • 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

Why This Team Stands Out

  • 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

Interview

  • One-step onsite
  • Fast decisions—usually within 48 hours
