Job Description

Job Summary

We're adding a Robotic Welding Operator / Tack Welder to our fabrication team This role blends hands-on manual tacking with fixtures and hands-on operation of a robotic welding cell. The right person will set up and tack tank components in a fixture, load the fixtured tank onto the robotic welder, and start the automated weld cycle — then move directly to tacking the next tank in a second fixture while the robot completes its weld. This back-and-forth workflow keeps both the operator and the robot working continuously, so the role rewards someone who can keep a steady pace, stay organized, and take pride in consistent, high-quality work.

This is a great fit for an experienced welder/fitter looking to grow into robotic/automated welding, or for a current robot operator who wants to sharpen manual tacking and fit-up skills.

What You'll Do
  • Fit and tack tanks: Set up tank components in weld fixtures and tack them per blueprint/work instructions, ensuring proper fit-up, squareness, and dimensional accuracy before welding.
  • Load and run the robot: Transfer the tacked tank assembly from the fixture onto the robotic welding cell, load/clamp it correctly, and initiate the robotic weld program.
  • Work two stations at once: While the robot welds one tank, tack up the next tank in the fixture so the cell never sits idle — keeping a continuous flow between manual tacking and robotic welding.
  • Monitor the robotic weld cycle: Watch for faults, wire feed issues, arc interruptions, or fixture/part misalignment, and respond quickly to keep the cell running.
  • Quality checks: Visually inspect tack welds and finished robotic welds for consistency, penetration, and appearance; flag or correct any fit-up or weld defects before parts move downstream.
  • Fixture and equipment care: Keep fixtures, clamps, and the robotic cell clean and in good working order; report wear, damage, or repeat misalignment issues to a supervisor or maintenance.
  • Housekeeping and safety: Follow all safety procedures for welding, fixtures, and robotic equipment, including lockout/tagout and safe zone awareness around the robot; maintain a clean, organized work area.
  • Production tracking: Track and report parts completed, downtime, and any recurring issues to help the team hit daily/weekly output targets on this job.
  • What We're Looking For
  • Prior welding experience required (MIG preferred); experience tacking parts in fixtures is a strong plus.
  • Ability to read basic blueprints, weld symbols, and work instructions.
  • Comfortable working around robotic or automated equipment; prior robot operator experience is a plus but not required.
  • Strong attention to detail and a quality-first mindset.
  • Able to manage two tasks in rotation (tacking + robot loading/monitoring) and keep a steady, consistent pace throughout the shift.
  • Dependable, safety-conscious, and comfortable in a fast-paced, high-volume production environment.
  • Physical Requirements
  • Ability to stand, bend, and reach for extended periods throughout the shift.
  • Ability to lift, carry, and position tank components and fixtures up to 50 lbs, with team lift or lifting assistance for heavier parts.
  • Ability to wear required PPE (welding helmet, gloves, safety glasses, hearing protection, etc.) for the full shift.
  • Comfortable working near welding arcs, fixtures, and moving robotic equipment while following all posted safety procedures.
