JOB DESCRIPTION

• Lay out, fit, and fabricate metal components to assemble structural forms, using knowledge of welding techniques, metallurgy, and engineering requirements
• Includes experimental welders who analyze engineering drawings and specifications to plan welding operations where procedural information is unavailable
• Clamp, hold, tack-weld, heat-bend, bolt, or grind spare parts as necessary to satisfy the technical requirements and creates a welded final product
• Weld spare parts in various directions: flat, horizontal, vertical or overhead, etc.
• Controls the processes of fitting, burning and welding to avoid problems in relation to overheat, distortion, expansion or shrink of spare parts
• Arrange and assure the welded parts are arranged in order before being assembled into final products, using such tools as a square, caliper or ruler
• Prepare and set up necessary tools and equipment for welding job such as shielded metal arc, gas metal arc or other welding equipment
• Ignites flame or strikes an arc while welding or performing electricity-related work to weld part of a metal structure.
• Examines finished products and spare parts, comparing them with samples to verify whether the specifications are met
• Operates accessory equipment and performs tasks necessary for welding metal, such as fusing metal segments, using gas tungsten arc, metal arc, flux-cored arc, plasma arc, and other types of welding arcs
• Supervises and identifies any fault in operating equipment or in relation to any material or equipment, then notifies the supervisors
