Shift Time

2nd shift - One week Monday-Wednesday and following week Monday-Thursday

Description

Preparing materials

• Reading and interpreting blueprints: Analyze technical drawings. Welding symbols, and blueprints to understand the specifications for each welding job.
• Cleaning and inspecting materials; ensure the surfaces to be welded are clean, free from rust, Oil, or debris, and properly aligned for accurate welding.
• Measuring and cutting materials: use tools like plasma cutters. angle grinders, or torches to cut metal to required sizes before welding.

Setting up and maintaining equipment

• Selecting the right welding technique: Choose the appropriate welding method (MIG, TIG. Stick or FCAW) based on the type of metal. Thickness, and project requirements.
• Setup and Configuring welding machines: Setup welding machine: Adjust machine settings (e.g.. amperage. voltage. wire speed) according to the type of material and desired outcome.
• Testing equipment: Test the functionality of the welding machine. Ensuring that it operates properly before starting any work.
• Regular machine maintenance: Perform routine maintenance on welding machines, including cleaning and replacing worn parts like nozzles. tips, or electrodes
• Troubleshooting Issues: Diagnose and fix minor issues with welding equipment or report them to maintenance for repair

Performing Welding operations
