A company that is seeking quality welding talent turned to the Hobart Institute recently to speak with students who are bound for a rewarding welding career.  United Group Services, Inc., located in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a multi-faceted company, under private ownership, that is positioned for growth. 

Human Resource Manager Bobby Reeves and Quality Coordinator John Gaffin spent a few hours speaking with students and explaining the company’s welding services and expectations of future employees.

“We are a growing company, and we are always looking for qualified welding applicants,” says Bobby Reeves.

A good work ethic was at the top of the list of his expectations.

“Show up every day… on time… wanting to work… and willing to learn.  These are the most important attributes,” Bobby explained.   

If you meet these requirements, you will be rewarded with long-term employment, competitive salary, benefits, and profit sharing.  Interested applicants are encouraged to contact Mr. Reeves for more information on the application processing.

“United offers paid training based on the skills needed to bring welders to the level required for the work,” says John.  “The welding we perform is of x-ray quality on stainless steel, carbon steel, MonelÒ, HastelloyÒ, and nickels as well as high-purity welding.” 

And the training never ends.  Employees, from the newest apprentice to the seasoned journeymen, may participate in a training plan designed to promote growth and personal development. 

Three full-time AWS certified welding inspectors are on staff to assure that all welding components are of the highest quality for the welding performed in chemical processing and pharmaceutical plants, pulp and paper plants, food and beverage production, power generation, steel foundries, automotive, petrochemical and manufacturing industries.

Safety is at the top of the list when training begins.  United is an OSHA VPPC company, one of only nine companies in the nation, to receive the Star designation under this pilot program. Stringent guidelines are required to meet the standards set forth under this Voluntary Protection Program. 

“There is no room for error when you are working with high pressure and hot steam pipe repairs,” says Bobby.  “We fully understand the serious implications of safety lapses for both the client and the contractor.” 

Hobart Institute serves the companies such as United Group Services well by assisting them in providing employment information to students who are completing the Combination Structural and Pipe Welding Program.  In addition to the various processes for welding of pipe, this program stresses safety as well as attendance to prepare students with the essential attributes required to enter the workforce.   

No Borders, No Boundaries, is the message that United Group Services conveys to their customers.  While the majority of their work is based in Cincinnati, Louisville, and Columbus, United Group Services will go anywhere necessary to meet their client requirements.  In addition to welding services, United offers design, engineering, estimating, fabrication, erection, and installation (new, modified, or renovated) along with rigging and industrial piping services. 

Demand Safety, Deliver Quality well-serves the company where safety, quality, training, flexibility, reliability, and accountability provide the foundation for growth.
