CCS Construction Staffing is actively hiring Industrial Pipe Welders in Newport News, VA. This is an immediate opportunity for qualified professionals seeking steady work. Candidates need hands-on TIG and MIG welding experience on steel, ideally with prior shipyard, marine, or heavy industrial exposure rather than strictly commercial or structural work. Since Gibson doesn't require formal certifications like 6G and instead runs their own in-shop weld test before yard placement, candidates should be comfortable demonstrating clean, consistent welds under evaluation on short notice. Versatility across both processes (TIG and MIG) is valuable here, as Gibson indicated flexibility on fitter-to-welder ratios depending on who's available. Must be available for a 4/10 schedule (6:00 AM–4:30 PM) and able to pass the shipyard's required background check (~2-week process, handled by Gibson). BGC is made through Gibson. However, let's check on their background check before so we don't send them candidates that will be rejected. Testing/Screening Process: Gibson brings candidates to their own shop to test/qualify them before sending to the yard — typically the day before start. Certifications: No specific certs required (e.g., no 6G needed) — Gibson tests and qualifies in-house.
