Lead Precision TIG Welding Supervisor (Power Generation)

Role Snapshot

Employment Type: Full Time

Step into a hands-on leadership role guiding complex welds and the people who make them possible. As our Lead Precision TIG Welding Supervisor, you’ll set the pace for safety, quality, and delivery while working on turbine and generator components that keep critical power assets running.

A Day in the Life

Start your shift with a quick huddle—assign jobs, align on production goals, and reinforce safety expectations. From there, you’ll split time between the floor and coordination: performing intricate TIG welds on INCO, Hastelloy X, stainless, and carbon steels; inspecting welds to manufacturer and company standards; and troubleshooting with site managers, supervisors, and Quality to refine processes. You’ll verify measurements with calipers and ID/OD micrometers, document procedures and repairs, and jump in on turbine/generator disassembly, assembly, prep, and blend work. You’ll also support material moves with forklifts and overhead cranes and help other shop areas as needed—always keeping the workspace clean and compliant with OSHA and customer/ARMS guidelines.
