Welder - Combo

About the role

Welders use accepted trade methods and a variety of manual welding processes to weld all types of commonly used metals and alloys of various sizes, shapes, and thicknesses, including dissimilar metals such as copper to steel. They assure complete penetration and fusion of base and filler metals, control welding techniques to prevent distortion, and meet weld dimension, tolerance, strength, and other requirements in all welding positions.

Responsibilities

• Perform non-supervisory work of welding metals and alloys
• Apply electric, gas, and other welding processes to manufacture, repair, modify, rebuild, and assemble metal parts, equipment, systems, and structures
• Determine appropriate welding techniques and select proper materials such as electrodes or rods
• Plan and lay out work from blueprints, sketches, drawings, specifications, and work orders
• Perform difficult welds in hard to reach areas requiring close tolerance and strength requirements
• Ensure welds meet specifications for fit, contour, and smoothness
• Inspect completed welds to ensure they are free from cracks, slag, or other defects
• Ensure welds meet accepted trade standards and pass required inspections and testing methods

Requirements

• Experience performing welding using multiple gas and arc welding processes on various metals and alloys
• OSHA-10 certification is required (if not currently possessed, opportunity to take the course prior to employment)
• Ability to work in office and job site environments
• Work environment: Office and construction job site

Qualifications

Education: None

Skills

• Knowledge of gas welding torch processes such as oxy-acetylene and other industrial gases
• Knowledge of arc welding processes including gas metal-arc, gas tungsten-arc, gas carbon-arc, plasma-arc, and atomic hydrogen welding
• Understanding of how various metals and alloys react to different welding processes and techniques
• Ability to weld in all positions (flat, horizontal, vertical, overhead)
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and specifications
• Strong attention to detail and quality standards
• Ability to meet strict tolerances and specifications
• Ability to perform work in a variety of environments and conditions
