WHAT YOU'LL DO:

Perform manual and semi-automatic welding on ferrous metal components utilizing SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding), and FCAW (Flux Cored Arc Welding) processes. Tasks include joint preparation, fit-up, tack welding, gas torch cutting, and final weld out in accordance with applicable welding procedures (WPS). 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. Other duties as assigned, including cross-functional tasks within the fabrication department.
