• Execute fillet welds and out-of-position welds on a variety of product lines, maintaining consistent quality and appearance.
• Read and interpret blueprints, welding prints, and weld symbols to understand weld requirements and ensure dimensional accuracy.
• Perform manual layouts and surface preparation, including cleaning, fitting, and aligning components prior to welding.
• Inspect welds using measuring tools such as micrometers, calipers, gauges, and other precision instruments to verify dimensions and tolerances.
• Use fixtures and positioning devices to align and secure parts prior to welding, ensuring repeatable and efficient production.
• Troubleshoot weld defects by identifying root causes and adjusting technique, parameters, or setup to correct issues.
• Work within a weld-line environment alongside approximately seven welders in sequence, producing multiple weld points per unit, often five to six welds per product.
• Maintain a clean, organized work area and follow established production, safety, and quality procedures.
• Successfully complete and pass a TIG weld test as part of the qualification process.
