Certified Welder — Weld-Up Crew
- Full-time
- Lorena, TX
- Field Operations
- $26 – $34 / hour, DOE
HTC Steel Building Systems is hiring certified welders for our on-site weld-up crews. You’ll be building structural frames from the ground up on commercial and industrial jobs across Central Texas — most within two hours of Waco, with occasional travel work that carries per diem.
We’re veteran-owned, and we run our jobs the way the name says: built right, on time. That means crews who show up, look after their gear, and take the inspection seriously.
What you’ll be doing
- Flux-core and stick welding on structural steel — columns, beams, purlins, bracing
- Fit-up and tacking from shop drawings and erection plans
- Working off scissor lifts, boom lifts and leading edge at height
- Daily rigging and crane signalling alongside the erection crew
- Keeping the work area safe and tidy, and your welds ready for inspection
What we’re looking for
- AWS D1.1 certification, or the ability to pass a 3G/4G plate test on arrival
- 2+ years of structural welding; PEMB or weld-up experience preferred
- Comfortable working at height, and able to lift 50 lbs repeatedly
- Valid driver’s licence and reliable transport to the yard or jobsite
- OSHA 10 or 30 a plus — we’ll put you through it if you don’t have it
What we offer
- $26 – $34 per hour depending on certification and experience
- Overtime at time and a half, paid weekly
- Per diem and lodging on travel jobs
- Health insurance and paid holidays after 90 days
- Tool allowance, and we supply all PPE
