Welder Staffing Companies and Job Sites
Welder Staffing Companies and Job Sites for High Paying Road Warrior Jobs
This is a list of places to get jobs for welders and fitters who travel. Travel is the key word when it comes to these types of jobs. In many cases you will need to relocate in as little as 24 hours. That mean you might need to drive over 1000 miles and be ready to test the next morning. Before applying for any of these jobs make sure your car is ready and your bags are packed. You will also need to have enough money for three weeks of living expenses in a hotel! On the upside there could be a lot of overtime as in 84 hour work weeks and on some jobs you can earn you more than $150k a year!
These positions are mostly for First Class crafts people Only. For pipe welders you will likely need to pass a restricted 6G x-ray test and for structural welders a 2, 3, and 4G plate test. Fitter tests range from a five minutes interview to a math exam followed by a hands-on fitting test. If you go out to a job site and get second class on your test you will be sent home. Staffing companies pay a large premium for skilled personal so you are expected to be the best. Some other requirements are drug testing (including hair follicle), alcohol screening, federal background checks (some as strict as no speeding tickets), and some companies need security clearance. For other jobs they may require a TWIC Card and NCCER training so if you have them it is a Major Plus! Finally you will need your own PPE (personal protection equipment) and that just means your own safety equipment like a hard hat, safety glasses and so on.
