Plan and perform a wide range of welding, brazing, burning, spot welding and soldering operations on a wide variety of parts and fabrications. Weld in all positions, similar and dissimilar metals, for structural and mechanical strength.
Your responsibilities
Interpret drawings, process sheets, shop orders and specifications to determine methods and techniques to be applied.
Set up and operate arc and acetylene equipment, spot welding machine, hand and machine burning equipment and other related equipment to perform production operations.
Set up and operate welding equipment. Set current, amperage, gas pressures and regulate time and pressure controls. Select rod, wire, tips, electrodes for specific job at hand. Adjust and control wire feed.
Position burners and adjust for height and heat. Position and secure work on table, plate, fixture, power positioner with clamps, stops or other holding devices.
Fit and position parts in accordance with drawing specifications.
Tack weld as necessary. Check and inspect for adherence to dimensional tolerances.
Perform pre-weld operations such as drill holes on a drill press or straightening parts on a straightening press
Maintain equipment and work area. Clean, calibrate, and perform routine maintenance on welding tools and machinery
Inspect and test welds for quality and compliance. Use visual inspection and tools (e.g., calipers, gauges) to ensure welds meet standards and tolerances.
