Snelling is seeking experienced MIG / Wire Welders for a busy fabrication facility in Sherman, TX. This is a great opportunity for someone with hands-on welding experience who is comfortable working from drawings, setting up their own welding machine, and adjusting settings based on different material thicknesses.
The weld shop is entering a very busy project period, so candidates need to be able to step in and contribute quickly. This is not an entry-level welding position; previous hands-on welding experience in a production, manufacturing, structural, or fabrication environment is required.
The position is initially project-driven, but strong performers may have an opportunity for long-term employment. The company promotes from within and offers opportunities for wage growth based on performance, skill development, reliability, and work ethic.

Read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and fabrication prints
Set up and adjust welding equipment for different materials and gauges
Measure, fit, cut, and prepare material to specification
Inspect completed welds and finished work for quality and accuracy
Use hand tools, power tools, and measuring equipment
Assist with material handling and other shop duties as needed
Maintain a clean and safe work area
Work effectively as part of a fabrication and welding team
Qualifications
Previous hands-on MIG / wire welding experience required
Must have professional welding experience beyond classroom or welding-school training
Ability to independently set up and adjust a welding machine
Ability to weld different gauges of material and adjust settings appropriately
Ability to read blueprints, drawings, and measurements
Experience in structural welding, metal fabrication, manufacturing, or a similar environment preferred
Must be dependable with a strong work ethic
Must be willing to assist in other areas when welding work is caught up
Plasma table or plasma cutting experience is a plus
Forklift, crane, rigging, fitting, or additional fabrication experience is a plus
Must be able to pass an onsite weld test
Starting pay is based on experience and weld-test results, with opportunities for wage growth based on performance and skill development.
