Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a hands-on technical person, not someone limited to documentation.

The candidate should be comfortable working directly on the shop floor, conducting welding trials, solving welding problems and supporting operators.

Career Opportunity

This is an opportunity to join a new welding and fabrication operation and play a key role in establishing the welding processes, equipment, fixtures, procedures and production standards from the beginning.

Pay: Up to ₹45,000.00 per month

Work Location: In person
