Welding Jobs in Richburg, SC

A Welder in the construction industry plays a vital role in the building and repairing of structures, equipment, and various types of machinery. They use intense heat to fuse metal pieces together, following detailed schematic drawings to assemble structural metal products, such as frameworks or shells for machinery or metal parts for buildings or bridges. A knowledgeable welder not only performs welding tasks but also handles materials planning, preparation, and setup for welding. They also ensure the use of correct welding procedures to meet specifications, inspect structures or materials to be welded, and maintain equipment in a condition that does not compromise safety.

Key skills for a Welder include manual dexterity, technical skills, physical strength and stamina, attention to detail, and effective communication skills. Welders should be adept at using hand and power tools and have a keen understanding of metallurgy and welding techniques. Most employers require welders to have a high school diploma or equivalent and to complete vocational training or an apprenticeship in welding. Some jobs may also require Welding Certification from a recognized institution such as the American Welding Society (AWS). Prior to becoming a Welder, a person might work as a Welder's Helper, Welding Intern, or a Fabricator.
