Weld Shop Manager (Working Lead)

Location: North Suburbs of Chicago, IL

Pay: $65,000–$90,000

Schedule: 1st Shift | Monday–Friday (6:30 AM–3:00 PM) + Half Day Saturdays

Type: Contract-to-Hire (6 months)


A well-established custom industrial equipment manufacturer is seeking a hands-on Weld Shop Manager (Working Lead) to oversee a team of welders while remaining actively involved on the shop floor. This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing company with a modern facility, a strong leadership team, and a family-oriented culture where employees are valued and empowered to make an impact.


This is not a desk job. You'll spend the majority of your time leading by example—fabricating, TIG welding, mentoring less experienced welders, ensuring quality, and helping keep production on schedule.


What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead and mentor a team of welders while remaining hands-on in fabrication and welding
  • Organize daily work orders and prioritize production schedules
  • Perform TIG welding and fabrication of stainless steel pipe and square tubing assemblies
  • Review blueprints, inspect completed weldments, and ensure work meets quality standards
  • Coordinate with production to maintain workflow and meet customer deadlines
  • Train and develop junior welders while promoting safe and efficient shop practices
  • Perform final inspections before assemblies move to the next stage of production


What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of TIG welding experience in a manufacturing environment
  • Previous Lead, Supervisor, Manager, or strong mentoring experience
  • Experience welding stainless steel, pipe, and structural assemblies
  • Strong blueprint reading and fabrication skills
  • Familiarity with AWS and/or ASME Section IX welding codes
  • Ability to pass a 5G pipe weld test and become certified to company procedures
  • Comfortable using fabrication equipment including grinders, horizontal band saws, drill/mill machines, and other shop tools
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. and work in a hands-on manufacturing environment


Why You'll Want This Opportunity

  • Clean, modern manufacturing facility with updated equipment
  • Tight-knit, family-oriented culture with approachable leadership and an open-door environment
  • Opportunity to make an immediate impact leading a skilled welding team
  • Stable, growing company that designs and manufactures custom industrial equipment serving a diverse customer base
  • Excellent opportunity for an experienced Lead Welder ready to step into more responsibility or a current Supervisor looking for a long-term home
  • Full benefits available upon permanent hire


If you're a hands-on TIG welder who enjoys mentoring others and wants to be part of a company where leadership is visible and your contributions matter, we'd love to speak with you.
