MIG/MAG Welder
Metal Industry — Thessaloniki, Greece
P-277 · Functional (B1) · 3 openings
A metal fabrication company in the industrial zone west of Thessaloniki needs steady hands on MIG and MAG. If you can run a clean bead on structural steel and read a basic drawing, the work is here and the pay is above what the local shops offer.
About role
You spend the shift welding mild and structural steel for fabricated frames, brackets and load-bearing assemblies, mostly in the 3 to 12 mm range. Work runs off fabrication drawings, so you check dimensions, tack the parts, then lay the full weld. You set your own wire speed and voltage on the machine and swap between flat, horizontal and vertical positions through the day. After welding you grind back the spatter, knock off slag and clean the joint before it moves to inspection. The standard pattern is a single day shift, Monday to Friday, roughly 07:00 to 15:00, with overtime offered when an order is running tight. You report to a workshop foreman who checks the first pieces of every batch.

Promotion terms
You start at 1440 net per month. Once you pass the trial period and the foreman signs off on your weld quality, the rate moves up toward 1660 net. Welders who pick up TIG or take on the harder positional work are first in line for the top of that range.
Work environment
This is an indoor workshop with welding bays, overhead crane and good extraction over each station. It gets warm in summer and the noise from grinding is constant, so ear and eye protection stay on. The crew is small, around a dozen people on the floor, and the foreman is on the shop the whole shift.
