Structural repairs on buckets, ripper assemblies, booms, and components
Crack repairs, rebuilds, and reinforcement of high-wear parts
Arc gouging and weld prep on heavy sections
Build-up welding and hard-facing on wear areas

Interpreting drawings and executing quality repairs
Assisting with strip-down, assessment, and rebuild processes

Solid 10+ years' experience on earthmoving / heavy steel - plant equipment
Strong welding skills (Stick / MIG / Flux Core advantageous)
Experience working with heavy plate and structural repairs
Confident with arc gouging
Ability to read and work from technical drawings
Physically fit and comfortable in a heavy-duty workshop
What Sets You Apart:
Pride in your workmanship — your welds last
Strong problem-solving ability on worn or damaged components
Ability to work independently and in a team
