Welder - Frame Welding Line

Basic Job Functions:

As a welder on the frame welding line, you will work alongside your crew to keep a fast-paced, high-volume frame welding line running safely, efficiently and profitably. The pace is fast and the standard is high. You’ll be MIG welding steel components into finished pallet racking frames. A successful candidate is someone who leads by example, and does the following:

• Safety first, always — At Nucor, everyone goes home the same way they showed up. You'll know how to keep yourself and your fellow teammates safe.


• Weld with precision — Work confidently across gauges and wall thicknesses, in flat and vertical positions, including 360-degree welds. AWS/ASME certified or certifiable is a plus.


• Own your quality — Inspect your own work, catch defects early, and hold yourself to the spec — every part, every time.


• Keep your equipment ready — Perform routine maintenance on your MIG welder and related equipment so the line stays moving.


• Be a team player — Rotate through cells, help relieve bottlenecks, and contribute to a line that wins together.

Safety is the most important part of all jobs within Nucor; therefore, candidates must be able to demonstrate the ability to initiate, lead, and uphold safety policies, practices, procedures, and housekeeping standards at all times.
