Major Tool builds one-of-a-kind, high-consequence hardware large weldments, precision machined components, complex assemblies for customers who cannot accept a second chance. We hire for character, capability, and craft. Whether you end up at a weld booth, a fit-up table, a five-axis machine, an assembly bay, an inspection plate, or a planning desk, the profile is the same. We are not necessarily looking for someone who already knows our equipment. We are looking for someone worth investing in for years to come.
Given the part, the procedure, and the badge, you’re the person the next operation can rely on. Welders stay inside the WPS when nobody is reading the parameters and report the fit-up gap instead of forcing it. Machinists report the feature that went out of tolerance. Inspectors write what they measured, not what the schedule wants. Assemblers speak up when the torque felt wrong. Support personnel keep certs, travelers, and receiving records accurate because someone downstream is counting on them. Everyone treats controlled drawings and export-controlled work as the obligation it is.
You know you’re one link, and you value the ones on either side of you. Nothing ships without the weld, the cut, the inspection, the data book, and the crate. The candidate who believes their function is the only important one is the one that doesn’t last. We look for people who are coachable and who take instruction from experienced hands with humility.
You take ownership to achieve the desired results. You set the job up to succeed: fixture ready, gas full, material staged, print clear. Ask what’s needed next before the shift ends. The person who quietly solves the small problem saves the schedule.
You intend to be more valuable in a year than you are today. Whether that’s depth in your current role or a move into a new one, you take initiative to invest in your career — the next weld qualification, the next machine, the next inspection certification, the next crane or forklift license, the next module of blueprint reading. Comfortable being the least experienced person in your area — but unwilling to stay there. You welcome constructive feedback as opportunity, not insult.
World class parts start with world class people. You refuse to settle for good enough. Always learning, adapting, and finding ways to be better. Excellence here includes the things that aren’t metal: the weld map, the traceability, the data book, the packaging, the signature. The best people leave the process better than they found it — a fixture that saves an hour, a step removed from a setup, a problem solved so it doesn’t come back. Pride in finished work, not just completed work.
