| Aspect | Welding Machine Shop | Welder |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Certifications in welding techniques, safety, and equipment operation | Welding certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Welder) |
| Work Environment | Industrial shops, manufacturing plants, repair facilities | Construction sites, fabrication shops, industrial settings |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Employs multiple welders, manages welding equipment and projects | Performs welding tasks directly on projects or in shops |
Welding Machine Shops focus on managing welding equipment, overseeing multiple welders, and maintaining shop operations. Welders are skilled workers who perform the actual welding tasks. While both roles require welding certifications and work in similar environments, the shop manages the process, and the welder executes the work.

An 85-year-old, family-owned Chicago manufacturer is hiring a Manufacturing Engineer. The timing is the interesting part.
They are launching a new product roadmap with several new products a year, and they go live on a new ERP — Infor CloudSuite Industrial — in January. You would lead the APQP work on those launches and build the routers and BOM structure in a fresh system, rather than inheriting someone else's.
The shop is fully vertically integrated: CNC and manual machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding and hand assembly, all under one roof. When something goes wrong, you walk out to the floor and fix it. You are not filing a ticket with a supplier.
What you would do
Design fixtures and production equipment in Autodesk Inventor — strong SolidWorks users are welcome to apply
Own production routers and BOM documents through the ERP transition
Lead APQP on new product launches
Analyze process data, production KPIs and manufacturing cost data
Write production work instructions and test procedures
Provide technical support and training to the shop floor
What you need
5+ years in a machine shop, sheet metal fabrication, welding or hand assembly environment
Fixture design experience for machining and for manual assembly
Production router and BOM experience in an ERP system
Bachelor's degree in manufacturing engineering, or the experience to match
Lean and Six Sigma — Green or Black Belt preferred; significant documented project work will be considered in its place
Bilingual Spanish and Power BI are a plus
Details
$100,000–$115,000 depending on experience
Standard hours are 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Monday–Friday, fully onsite in Northwest Chicago. There is some flexibility on start time — as early as 7:00 a.m.
401(k), medical, dental and vision, PTO and 10 paid holidays
Relocation: No relocation expenses covered. Candidates should be within 1-1.5 hour drive of NW Chicago.
