Job Description

MIG Welder – Commercial Building Supplier (Lubbock, TX)

Compensation: $/hr (based on experience and weld quality)
Employment Type: Full-time, on-site
Schedule: Monday–Friday, day shift

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Snelling is recruiting a MIG Welder for a well-established commercial building manufacturer in Lubbock, Texas. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys seeing their work take shape — fabricating and assembling steel building frames and components that form the backbone of large-scale structures.

The right candidate will be motivated, reliable, and eager to learn multiple aspects of the manufacturing process. While MIG welding using spray transfer is the primary responsibility, this position also includes training and work on additional shop equipment, such as ironworkers and other fabrication machinery.

If you take pride in producing high-quality welds, enjoy variety in your day-to-day tasks, and are ready to join a respected, long-standing local manufacturer, this could be the perfect fit.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Perform MIG welding using the spray transfer process on structural steel components, primarily I-beams and pipe.
• Read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and job specifications.
• Inspect welds for accuracy, strength, and quality; make adjustments as needed.
• Assist with setup, operation, and maintenance of ironworkers and other shop equipment.
• Safely move, position, and align steel materials for fabrication.
• Maintain a clean and organized work area, following all safety protocols.
• Work as part of a close-knit production team to meet quality and productivity goals.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Prior MIG welding experience required; structural or fabrication experience preferred.
• Ability to produce clean, strong, and consistent welds using spray transfer.
• Comfortable working with a variety of materials, including I-beams and pipe.
• Strong work ethic, attention to detail, and commitment to safety.
• Teachable attitude with a willingness to learn new machines and shop processes.
• Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 lbs as needed.

Candidates of all skill levels will be considered — from experienced welders to individuals with a solid foundation and the drive to learn and grow.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• Starting pay: $19–$21/hour , depending on experience and weld quality
• Paid holidays and vacation
• Medical and dental insurance
• Life insurance
• Simple IRA with company match
• Profit sharing
