Suburban Welding and Steel is a well-known, third generation family owned and operated company that has developed a loyal customer following as a result of our excellent customer service and our can-do attitude! A big contributor to this is the fact that we are not only a job shop capable of projects of all sizes but we are also well known in the industry for our attention to detail, fast turnaround times on jobs and our willingness to do whatever it takes for our customers! What this means for you is that we have a steady workflow and consistent jobs to keep you working day in and day out. This also means that every day is different. You may start the day Tig welding a batch of aluminum widgets, then replace a tooth on a backhoe bucket and then finish the day fabricating new SS components for a food manufacturing facility. We do it all! In addition, there are often times that jobs will be “thrown in” to your schedule to accommodate our customer’s needs. You will need to be able to stop working on one project, jump to another and then back to your original project all while keeping track of time and material and maintaining the high level of quality that we are known for. Since we are a job shop by nature, every day is an adventure! If you are looking for an assembly line style welding job where you weld the same parts day after day, this is not for you. If you are looking for a job that will take what you already know and allow you to build and grow off of your existing knowledge with a dedicated team of fabricators, we want to hear from you!

This is a first position job, Monday thru Friday 7:00 am to 3:30 pm with overtime as required. Some overtime will be elective, other times it is mandatory. Either way, it is more money in your pocket! If you feel that you would be a great fit for this position, we encourage you to send your resume in as soon as possible. We are looking to fill this position with the right candidate immediately! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask! We look forward to hearing from you.
