Welder

Blueprint interpretation Read and apply engineering drawings, schematics, and welding symbols to plan tasks accurately.

Material preparation Cut, bevel, grind, and clean metals to ensure proper fit-up and weld quality.

MIG welding tasks Use Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) for thicker metals, structural steel, and high-volume production.

TIG welding tasks Apply Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) for thin metals, stainless steel, aluminum, and precision projects.

Equipment setup Operate and calibrate wire feeders, TIG torches, power sources, and fixtures.

Quality inspection Perform visual checks, dimensional verification, and prepare for non-destructive testing (NDT).

Safety compliance Follow OSHA/AWS standards, wear protective gear, and maintain a safe work environment.

Daily Tasks

• Set up welding equipment each morning.

• Perform welding operations across different positions (flat, vertical, overhead).

• Monitor weld quality and adjust parameters.

• Inspect and finish welded components before release.

• Maintain tools and document work logs.
