Structural Welder

Structural Welder Monday - Thursday 5am - 3:30pm Must be able to pass 1G on Metal Core and 3G on Flux weld test. Structural welders fabricate, repair, and install high-stress metal frameworks for infrastructure like buildings, bridges, and ships. They primarily join steel componentssuch as columns and girdersusing techniques like stick (SMAW), MIG, and flux-cored welding (FCAW). These professionals interpret blueprints, operate, and maintain welding equipment, often working on-site to ensure structural integrity. Key Responsibilities and Tasks Fabrication and Erection: Assembling the structural steel frames of buildings, bridges, and off-shore oil platforms. Welding Techniques: Utilizing stick, MIG, TIG, and FCAW to fuse thick metal materials. Cutting and Repair: Using torches to cut, modify, or repair existing structural metal. Reading Blueprints: Interpreting technical drawings and specifications to ensure precise placement of structural components. Quality Inspection: Checking welds for defects, ensuring they meet AWS (American Welding Society) standards and safety codes. Safety Adherence: Operating in demanding environments, often at heights, while following strict safety protocols.
