• Execute fabrication of structural and non‑structural weldments, including sub‑assemblies and full assemblies made from 16‑gauge to heavy plate steel, adhering to mechanical drawings and customer specifications.
• Utilize precision measuring instruments (e.g., calipers, combination squares, straightedges, rulers) to lay out, position, and align components prior to welding.
• Use clamps, fixtures, and jigs to ensure accurate alignment and securement during assembly.
• Interpret engineering drawings, welding symbols, and fabrication blueprints to determine weld joint configurations, material requirements, and fabrication sequences.
• Perform all‑position welding (flat, horizontal, vertical, overhead) as required by project specifications.
• Conduct pre‑weld and post‑weld inspections, checking for dimensional accuracy, weld quality, and potential discontinuities using visual inspection techniques and inspection tools.
• Carry out routine preventive maintenance on welding and fabrication equipment, including torches, power sources, wire feeders, and grinders, and identify when corrective maintenance is required.
• Perform other duties as assigned, including cross‑functional tasks within the fabrication department.
