Welder - Carbon

About the role

As a Carbon Welder, you will be responsible for executing high-quality welds specifically on carbon steel materials using a variety of manual welding processes. Your expertise will ensure complete penetration and fusion, prevent distortion, and meet precise specifications for dimension, tolerance, and strength in all welding positions.

Responsibilities

• Apply manual welding processes such as oxy-acetylene and electric arc welding (gas metal-arc, shielded metal-arc, and flux-cored arc welding) with a focus on carbon steel applications
• Weld carbon steel components of various sizes, shapes, and thicknesses, including pipe and structural elements
• Control heat input and welding techniques to prevent warping or burn-through
• Interpret blueprints, sketches, drawings, specifications, and work orders to plan and lay out welding tasks accurately
• Select appropriate welding electrodes or filler rods based on carbon steel type, thickness, and welding position
• Perform welds in confined or hard-to-reach areas requiring high precision and strength
• Ensure welds meet specifications for dimension, tolerance, and mechanical strength
• Inspect completed welds to ensure they are free from defects such as cracks, porosity, and slag inclusions
• Collaborate with supervisors to resolve welding challenges and ensure compliance with project specifications and safety standards

Requirements

• Education: None
• Experience: Experience performing welding on carbon steel materials using multiple welding processes
• Physical Requirements: Ability to work in office and job site environments
• Work Environment: Office and construction job site

Skills

• Knowledge of oxy-acetylene and electric arc welding processes
• Ability to weld in all positions (flat, horizontal, vertical, overhead)
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and specifications
• Understanding of welding materials, electrodes, and filler rods
• Strong attention to detail and quality standards
• Ability to work in confined or challenging environments
• Problem-solving skills and ability to collaborate with team members
