• Verify that fitted assemblies, joint preparation, weld size, and component placement appear correct before beginning work.
• Follow applicable WPS requirements including process, consumable, technique, and other specified variables.
• Use proper welding sequence and heat control to reduce distortion, pulling, and movement of structural assemblies.
• Clean weld areas and remove slag, spatter, or other material as required between passes and after welding.
• Recognize visible weld discontinuities, poor fit-up, drawing discrepancies, or other problems and address or report them promptly.
• Perform minor preparation, grinding, gouging, or weld repair when authorized and required.
• Maintain welding equipment, leads, guns, tools, and work areas in serviceable condition.
• Meet reasonable production expectations without sacrificing weld quality or safety.
