Welding Operations:

• Perform electric arc welding using various techniques to join metal components accurately.
• Read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and welding symbols to determine welding requirements.
• Operate welding equipment, such as MIG, TIG, or stick welders, in a safe and efficient manner.

Metal Preparation:

• Prepare metal surfaces for welding by cleaning, grinding, and smoothing as necessary.
• Remove rust, scale, and other contaminants from metal surfaces to ensure proper weld penetration and adhesion.

Electric Arc Welding:

• Set up welding equipment and adjust parameters, such as voltage, current, and wire feed speed, to achieve desired welding results.
• Monitor welding process and make adjustments as needed to maintain quality and consistency.
• Perform welds in various positions, including flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead.

Quality Control:

• Inspect welded joints for defects, such as cracks, porosity, and incomplete fusion.
• Conduct visual and non-destructive testing (NDT) to verify weld quality and integrity.
• Ensure compliance with quality standards and specifications throughout the welding process.

Safety and Compliance:

• Adhere to all safety protocols and procedures to prevent accidents and injuries.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe work practices at all times.
• Comply with welding codes, standards, and regulations applicable to the industry.

Qualifications:

• Proven experience as an electric welder, preferably in a manufacturing or construction environment.
• Proficiency in electric arc welding techniques, including MIG, TIG, and stick welding.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and welding symbols.
• Strong attention to detail and quality orientation.
• Excellent manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
• Ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
• Relevant welding certification(s) preferred.
