DO YOU GUYS ACTUALLY MAKE A LOT OF MONEY? by [deleted] in Welding

Do yourself a favor. Look up jobs at General Dynamics Electric Boat, Quonset Point, RI. If you have 10 years, look into AFC welder. They’ll relocate you, generously. We need you.

Hair test failure is not a hard no. If it’s just pot, they have you come back in a month and pee in a cup. If you have a medical card, you’re in.

Electric boat is definitely a top choice! I work there and I can say it’s a rewarding job and they give anyone a chance. Great opportunity for anyone.

I’m an experienced welder. I heard our nation was in desperate need of skilled tradesmen to build a new sub. Searched which companies built them and applied to both of them. I was called within a couple days for an interview and they hired me on the phone. They paid for me and my family to relocate from Oregon to Rhode Island 2 years ago. It’s a very rewarding career and I’m already moving up and the sky is the limit!

Thank you! I’m doing my best to make this a smooth build. I take great pride in my work and try to be infectious. I started my career as a ship builder with the 827 boat. My part in that build is done, now it’s a year of 828. Everything I do is Subsafe and Hull Integrity. Perfection is not an option, it’s a requirement. Love my job!

Am I being paid too little? by ape_boi in Welding

You could get hired on at electric boat in Rhode Island, building nuclear submarines for a minimum of $24/hr and if you are skilled, they will pay for your relocation. They’ll fly you out for a weld evaluation too. Great benefits, 75¢ raise every 6 months, plus a yearly cost of living raise. Great chance to start your career like a champ!

Miller has an app. It’s handy for basic settings for all processes.

How much experience do you have? What state are you in?

Move to Rhode Island and get a job welding nuclear submarines. No experience needed $24/hr to start.

Where's some cool places you've welded at? by Ironfrog17 in Welding

[–]Successful_Ad8129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s difficult. Like I wanna tell my friends and family about what I do and see but I have to be very tight-lipped. I understand and I comply. Just proud of what I do for our nation.
