Craftsman & Labor Solutions has been contracted to crew a 5-day planned shutdown in Columbus, Mississippi, running November 8–12, 2026. We're hiring welders, millwrights and fabricators now, and the spots will fill fast.

The pay

  • Day shift: $34/hr
  • Night shift: $37/hr
  • Per diem: $120/day on top of your hourly pay

Who we need

  • Welders — industrial weld repair on piping, structural steel and equipment
  • Millwrights — removing, repairing, setting and aligning rotating equipment
  • Fabricators — measuring, cutting and fitting steel for outage repairs

Shutdown or turnaround experience is a plus. You'll need to be available for the full five days on your assigned shift.

Credentials
