Job description

We are looking to hire 2 Welders for our swing shift team!

Who we are:

At Wing Inflatables we have dedicated ourselves over the past 30 years to giving rescue workers, the coast guard, Navy SEALs, river rafting guides, and kayakers, the confidence to stay safe while performing with lightweight speed and agility on the water.

About the Position:

  • This is a full-time entry level position, we will provide you with the paid training to become a proficient operator, and as your skills advance there are opportunities for increases in salary!
  • We are looking for someone who can work in a team or work independently, and in a fast-paced environment!
  • In this role the machines that you will be utilizing are sewing machines, grommet punches, and a hot-air rotary welders (experience with welding is not required)!
  • You will be working in a smaller tight-knit department, and interacting with various other departments as well.

The Process:

You will be creating the shell of our inflatables boats, or sub assembly pieces that go inside or alongside our boats. To do this you will be referencing work instructions, and drawings of our boats. You will be using industrial strength fabrics that are cut to specific shapes. and with our hot-air rotary welders you take the fabric and push it forward similar to sewing, a bubble or bead of molten polyurethane is formed between the two layers of material just before they are rolled through compression wheels and fused together.  A thermo-welded seam, as opposed to a glued seam, results in far tougher, longer-lasting tubes. Thermo-welding fuses the over-lapped layers into one solid piece creating a seam that will not fail over time as a glued seam will.
