Join the Team That Powers the Nation

Industrial Air Flow Dynamics, Inc. is the nation's go-to provider for expansion joints, pipe penetration seals, and HRSG duct/liner replacement systems that have kept power plants running safely and efficiently for over 20 years. We work in high-demand, high-pressure environments, and our welders are trusted to get the job done right the first time.

We're currently hiring experienced Stainless Steel Structural Welders (Flux-Core Process) to join our traveling turnaround team. This role involves consistent travel across the U.S. to power plant sites. If you're reliable, detail-oriented, and ready for a career that takes you places (literally), you might be the perfect fit.

As a structural welder with IAFD, Inc. you'll be assigned to critical shutdown and turnaround projects across the country. You'll weld stainless steel components along vertical, horizontal, and overhead lines, often in elevated, confined, and challenging environments.

You'll work from detailed blueprints, follow verbal instructions precisely, and collaborate closely with your team to meet demanding project timelines. You'll also climb scaffolding, navigate complex boiler systems, and get your hands dirty on work that truly matters, keeping essential power systems operational.

This job demands focus, endurance, and a strong commitment to safety, but the rewards are worth it!

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of verifiable industrial welding experience
  • Ability to pass visual and bend-tested 2G, 3G, and 4G welds (Flux-Core on " Carbon Plate, 309 wire)
  • Comfort working at heights, in confined spaces, and in physically demanding conditions
  • Willingness and availability to travel continuously throughout the U.S.
  • Clean background check (no felonies in the last 7 years)
  • Must pass a pre-employment drug test
  • 21+ years old
  • Strong blueprint reading skills, attention to detail, and ability to work in fast-paced environments

What You'll Get

  • $25/hour + $30/day per diem + $15/hour paid travel time
  • Paid airfare
  • Hotel accommodations (shared)
  • Rental car provided (valid driver's license required)

Plus, a full benefits package:

  • Safe Harbor 401(k) match
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
  • Life & AD&D, short/long-term disability options

What to Expect When You Apply

We keep things simple. Our application is quick, with no long forms, no hoops. Just basic info, work history, and a way to contact you. If it looks like a good fit, you'll hear from someone on our recruiting team, usually from an 832 area code.

Here's what happens next:

  • Quick phone screening
  • Weld test (we'll explain exactly what's required)
  • Drug test & background check

This isn't just another welding job. It's a career on the move. If you're ready to earn great pay, work with a crew you can trust, and build things that matter, apply today.
