At Chromalox, we build advanced thermal technologies for the world's most challenging industrial heating applications.
Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we got our start with an innovative solution 100 years ago when a self-taught engineer invented the first metal-sheathed resistance heating element. It was this then-advanced thermal technology that launched an entire industry.
We excel in industries that have high expectations. We are acknowledged as experts at delivering solutions that exceed specifications, limit risk, and reduce operating costs.
Join us as we continue to provide solutions to our customers and the world!

  • Assist with equipment setup and routine maintenance
  • Conduct basic visual inspections of welds
  • Maintain a clean and safe work area
  • Meet production expectations and follow quality procedures
  • Other duties as assigned

Our Requirements:
  • High school diploma or GED
  • Vocational welding training or apprenticeship (preferred)
  • Basic AWS or company-specific certifications; working toward advanced qualifications
  • Ability to interpret simple blueprints with guidance
  • Basic proficiency in MIG, TIG, and Stick welding on common steels
  • Performs basic visual checks; relies on supervisors for final inspection
  • Assists with setup and routine equipment maintenance
  • Learns OSHA standards, PPE use, and fire/ventilation safety
  • Works under close supervision with limited decision-making
  • Must be authorized to work in the US without sponsorship, both now and in the future

Pay Rate: $17.00 - 17.51
