A Structural Combination Welder fabricates, fits, and welds structural steel components (beams, columns, plates) using multiple processes like FCAW, GMAW, and SMAW/Stick. They interpret blueprints, operate fabrication tools, and perform high-quality welds in various positions (vertical, overhead) to meet industry structural standards. Key Responsibilities

• Welding & Fabrication: Perform FCAW, GMAW (MIG), and SMAW (Stick) welding on carbon steel and other metals, utilizing both welding and fitting techniques to construct, maintain, and repair metal components.
• Blueprint Interpretation: Read, interpret, and follow complex structural blueprints, structural fabrication drawings, and welding symbols.
• Fit-Up and Layout: Lay out, align, fit, and secure components using jigs, fixtures, clamps, and tack welding before final welding.
• Equipment Maintenance: Set up, adjust, and perform routine maintenance on welding machines, torches, grinders, and air arc gougers.
• Quality Control: Inspect welds to ensure they meet visual quality standards, structural specs, and code compliance.
• Safety Compliance: Adhere strictly to safety regulations (OSHA), including PPE usage, hot work permits, and proper handling of gas cylinders.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Experience: Generally 3-5+ years of experience in structural steel fabrication or industrial welding.
• Certifications: Often requires AWS (American Welding Society) certifications (e.g., D1.1 structural) or the ability to pass onsite weld tests (TIG/SMAW/FCAW).
• Technical Skills: Strong proficiency in FCAW and SMAW; knowledge of welding positions (1G-4G, 6G).
• Physical Abilities: Capable of lifting, working at heights, operating in confined spaces, and holding precise positions for extended periods.
• Tools: Proficient in using grinders, torches, tape measures, and precision measuring tools.

Work Environment

• Often involves working in heavy industrial settings, fabrication shops, or construction sites (bridges, ships, buildings).
• Exposure to high heat, noise, and confined spaces.
• May require working in high-stress or fast-paced project environments #ZR
