• Weld thin‑wall tubing, pipe, fittings, and components to strict dimensional and quality requirements.
• Read and interpret isometric drawings, P&IDs, weld maps, blueprints, and welding specifications.
• Prepare, fit, align, purge, and weld components prior to installation.
• Maintain proper argon purge and shielding‑gas practices to prevent oxidation and contamination.
• Perform visual inspection and ensure welds meet applicable specifications and customer requirements.
• Maintain high standards of cleanliness and contamination control.
• Work within cleanrooms, controlled environments, and semiconductor manufacturing facilities as required.
• Follow WPS/PQR requirements, safety procedures, site protocols, and quality‑control standards.
• Complete weld documentation, inspection records, and job‑related paperwork.
• Coordinate with pipefitters, mechanical contractors, engineers, and quality personnel.
• Troubleshoot welding and fit‑up issues while maintaining production schedules.

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a TIG/Combo Welder, preferably in semiconductor, pharmaceutical, biotech, aerospace, or other high‑purity environments.
• Strong experience welding 304/316 stainless steel tubing and pipe.
• Experience with autogenous TIG welding (no filler rod/wire) strongly preferred.
• Ability to produce consistent, high‑quality welds on thin‑wall tubing.
• Experience with orbital welding is highly desirable.
• Ability to read drawings, weld symbols, and piping layouts.
• Knowledge of high‑purity gas, vacuum, process‑water, and chemical piping systems is a plus.
• Ability to work safely in PPE and controlled/cleanroom environments.
• Detail‑oriented and capable of maintaining strict cleanliness and quality standards.

Physical / Work Requirements

• Ability to stand, bend, kneel, climb, and work in confined or elevated areas as required.
• Ability to handle welding equipment, tubing, pipe, and related materials.
• Ability to work flexible schedules, including overtime, weekends, or shutdown work when required.
• Commitment to site safety, contamination control, and quality procedures.
