Experience / Qualifications:
At least 2 years of welding medium to heavy fabrications.
Duties and Responsibilities of the Job:
Use hand-welding or flame-cutting equipment to weld or join metal components or to fill holes, indentations, or seams of fabricated metal products.
•Chip or grind off excess weld, slag, or spatter, using hand scrapers or power chippers, portable grinders, or arc-cutting equipment.
•Clamp, hold, tack-weld, heat-bend, grind or bolt component parts to obtain required configurations and positions for welding.
•Connect and turn regulator valves to activate and adjust gas flow and pressure so that desired flames are obtained.
•Cut, contour, and bevel metal plates and structural shapes to dimensions as specified by blueprints, layouts, work orders, and templates, using powered saws, hand shears, or chipping knives.
•Gouge metals, using the air-arc gouging process.
•Operate manual or semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal segments, using processes such as gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, flux-cored arc, plasma arc, shielded metal arc, resistance welding, and submerged arc welding.
•Position and secure workpieces, using hoists, cranes, wire, and banding machines or hand tools.
•Preheat workpieces prior to welding or bending, using torches or heating furnaces.
•Prepare all material surfaces to be welded, ensuring that there is no loose or thick scale, slag, rust, moisture, grease, or other foreign matter.
•Recognize, set up, and operate hand and power tools common to the welding trade, such as shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding equipment.
•Remove rough spots from workpieces, using portable grinders, hand files, or scrapers.
•Weld components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions.
•Weld separately or in combination, using aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, and other alloys.
