Equipment Maintenance: Perform daily safety inspections and basic preventative maintenance on welding machines, torches, wire feeders, and shielding gas regulators to prevent downtime.

Maintain Workspace Safety: Keep work areas clean, organized, and free of hazards while strictly adhering to all company safety protocols and OSHA standards, including the proper use of PPE.
