Welder

JOB REQUIREMENTS: Use hand-welding or flame-cutting equipment to weld or

join metal components or to fill holes, indentations, or seams of

fabricated metal products. Clamp, hold, tack-weld, heat-bend, grind or

bolt component parts to obtain required configurations and positions for

welding. Check grooves, angles, or gap allowances, using micrometers,

calipers, and precision measuring instruments. Chip or grind off excess

weld, slag, or spatter, using hand scrapers or power chippers, portable

grinders, or arc-cutting equipment. Clean or degrease parts, using wire

brushes, portable grinders, or chemical baths. Connect and turn

regulator valves to activate and adjust gas flow and pressure so that

desired flames are obtained. Cut, contour, and bevel metal plates and

structural shapes to dimensions as specified by blueprints, layouts,

work orders, and templates, using powered saws, hand shears, or chipping

knives. Analyze engineering drawings, blueprints, specifications,

sketches, work orders, and material safety data sheets to plan layout,

assembly, and welding operations. Detect faulty operation of equipment

or defective materials and notify supervisors. Determine required

equipment and welding methods, applying knowledge of metallurgy,

geometry, and welding techniques. Develop templates and models for

welding projects, using mathematical calculations based on blueprint

information. Examine workpieces for defects and measure workpieces with

straightedges or templates to ensure conformance with specifications.

Fill holes, and increase the size of metal parts. Gouge metals, using

the air-arc gouging process. Guide and direct flames or electrodes on or

across workpieces to straighten, bend, melt, or build up metal. Ignite

torches or start power supplies and strike arcs by touching electrodes

to metals being welded, completing electrical circuits. Lay out,

position, align, and secure parts and assemblies prior to assembly,

using straightedges, combination squares, calipers, and rulers. Monitor

the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of

parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material.

Operate brazing and soldering equipment. Operate manual or

semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal segments, using processes

such as gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, flux-cored arc, plasma arc,

shielded metal arc, resistance welding, and submerged arc welding.

Operate safety equipment and use safe work habits. Position and secure

workpieces, using hoists, cranes, wire, and banding machines or hand

tools. Preheat workpieces prior to welding or bending, using torches or

heating furnaces. Prepare all material surfaces to be welded, ensuring

that there is no loose or thick scale, slag, rust, moisture, grease, or

other foreign matter. Recognize, set up, and operate hand and power

tools common to the welding trade, such as shielded metal arc and gas

metal arc welding equipment. Remove rough spots from workpieces, using

portable grinders, hand files, or scrapers. Select and install torches,

torch tips, filler rods, and flux, according to welding chart

specifications or types and thicknesses of metals. Weld components in

flat, vertical, or overhead positions. Weld separately or in

combination, using aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, and other

alloys. \*\*\*\*\* OTHER EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS: 2 Years
