About Us

At Divine Lighting Fabrication & Powder Coating , we don't just weld - we craft. Specializing in custom lighting solutions and precision metalwork, our projects are as diverse as they are demanding. We operate at the intersection of form and function, producing architectural-grade components that must look just as perfect as they perform. We serve high-end residential and commercial sectors, and our reputation is built on excellence - not just in strength, but in aesthetic detail

We are looking for a master-level Aluminum TIG Welder - someone who sees each weld as a signature. If you take pride in creating welds that speak for themselves, this is the shop for you.

What the Role Demands

• Execute flawless TIG welds on aluminum - clean, consistent, repeatable. Bead appearance matters just as much as strength.
• Fit and assemble custom, complex geometries where every edge and angle must look intentional.
• Bring deep metallurgical understanding to the table - know how materials behave, how to control heat, and how to adapt to different thicknesses and finishes.
• Interpret fabrication drawings, weld symbols, and part prints with confidence and independence.
• Solve welding challenges creatively and without supervision - own your work, and do it right the first time.
• Occasionally weld steel and stainless (10% of the time) with the same care and finish as aluminum.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and professional workspace - your Bay reflects your standards.
• Follow Standard Operating Procedures with precision while continuously looking for ways to eliminate waste and improve flow
• Be an active part of a team where communication, feedback, and shared goals drive everything forward.
• Embody lean manufacturing principles - help us cut waste, increase quality, and build smarter.

What We're Looking For

• Master-level TIG welding skills on aluminum. You've done this for years, and your work shows it.
• Strong experience with GTAW processes; GMAW proficiency is also required.
• Experience with aesthetic or architectural-grade parts - your welds should not need to be ground down to be acceptable.
• Proven ability to problem-solve independently , stay calm under pressure, and maintain control over variable fit-ups and materials.
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing, 5S principles, and a general obsession with keeping your area dialed in.
• Must be able to pass a welding test that includes both structural and appearance criteria.
• Comfortable working in a non-climate-controlled shop environment with a diverse project mix.
• Welding certification or trade school training preferred but not required - your test welds will speak louder than a diploma.
• Bonus: Experience with CNC tools like press brakes, lasers, and punches.
• Bonus: Forklift experience.

Physical Requirements:

• Able to lift and/or move up to 100 pounds
• Able to stand, walk, stoop, kneel, or crouch as required.
• Able to climb portable ladders, as necessary.
• Able to wear safety glasses and other required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) throughout the shift.

What We Offer

• A chance to work on custom, high-end projects where attention to detail and craftsmanship matter.
• A tight-knit, supportive team environment where your contributions are valued.
• Competitive compensation aligned with skill and responsibility.
• A clean, organized shop committed to lean principles and operational excellence.
• Clear pathways for growth, development, and ownership within your role.

Benefits:

• Competitive pay based on experience.
• Paid Time Off (PTO) and holiday pay.
• Overtime
• Opportunities for professional development and growth.

Welding Test Required

Applicants must pass a hands-on aluminum TIG welding test. You'll be asked to demonstrate both structural competence and artistry in a real-world scenario. This is your audition - and we take it seriously.

If TIG welding is your craft - not just your job - and you thrive in an environment where excellence is the expectation, we invite you to apply. Please include a resume and if available, images or a portfolio of past welding work.
