MIG Welder - 2nd Shift - St. Peters, Missouri
Express Employment Professionals is a staffing agency connecting experienced tradespeople with top manufacturing and industrial employers across the St. Louis Metro and St. Charles County area. If selected, you will be employed through Express Employment Professionals.

About the Role
This is a hands-on MIG welding position for an experienced welder who can consistently produce clean, structurally sound welds in a production environment. You'll be welding steel components using GMAW, reading prints, and maintaining quality standards on 2nd shift at a well-established St. Peters manufacturer. This role is built for welders who know their process-not entry-level or occasional welders.

What We Offer

  • Pay: $23.00 per hour
  • Shift: 2nd Shift (typically afternoon to evening hours)
  • Weekly pay
  • Temp-to-hire potential based on performance and fit
  • One application, access to multiple client opportunities across the St. Louis Metro area

What You'll Be Doing

  • Perform MIG (GMAW) welding on steel parts, frames, or assemblies
  • Read and interpret blueprints, weld symbols, and work instructions
  • Set up welding machines and adjust voltage, wire feed, and gas as needed
  • Inspect finished welds for penetration, fusion, and common defects
  • Maintain consistent weld quality in a production or fabrication environment

To Be Considered, You Must Meet the Following:

  • Substantial MIG welding experience beyond occasional or trial use, with the ability to pass a weld test
  • Working knowledge of weld defects such as porosity, undercut, lack of fusion, and burn-through
  • Experience welding mild steel using solid wire and shielding gas
  • Ability to read blueprints and follow weld symbols
  • Previous production or fabrication shop welding experience

This Role is NOT for You If:

  • You have only welded occasionally or in a training/classroom setting
  • Your background is general manufacturing, assembly, or machine operation without real welding time
  • You are unable or unwilling to complete and pass a hands-on MIG weld test
