Welder and fabricator recruiters.
MIG, TIG, stick, flux, plasma arc, stainless, cutting, forming and stamping.
MasterTech is a Skilled Trades recruitment agency that places welders and fabricators with manufacturers, fabrication shops and industrial contractors across the US and Canada. We recruit production welders, general welders, coded specialists and fabrication staff on a direct-hire basis. We work on contingency: no up-front fees, and you are invoiced only after your new hire starts.
The industry
How we recruit welding and fabrication talent
Welders are not interchangeable. A pipeline coded welder and a stainless production welder look identical on a job board and nothing alike on a test coupon, which is why we screen on process, position and material before we shortlist.
Tell us the ticket you need and the code you weld to. We will find people who already hold it, and the job gets weld done.
