Sub Arc Welder – Long Seam or Girth Seam
Night Shift (6 PM – 6 AM)
Who We Are
At North Shore Steel and our affiliated companies, we produce large-diameter pipe and structural products that require precision welding to meet demanding industry standards.
Our girth seam welders play a critical role in final weld integrity, work that directly impacts quality, safety, and performance in the field.
If you’re a Sub Arc welder who understands full-circumference welds, tie-ins, and maintaining consistency through rotation, this is where your skillset stands out.
Position Summary
As a Sub Arc Long Seam Welder, you will operate and manage Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) systems to produce high-quality long-seam welds on pipe and structural components.
This role is focused on repeatable, high-quality production welding, requiring a strong understanding of machine setup, weld parameters, and quality standards. You will also support repair work when defects are identified, working closely with Quality and production teams.
This is a night shift role (6 PM – 6 AM) and requires a welder who is dependable, detail-oriented, and able to maintain focus and consistency throughout the shift.
