Welder

JOB REQUIREMENTS: JOB SUMMARY The Welder role is a heavy manufacturing position that focuses on the fabrication and welding of pre-fab and machined components, vital internal sub-components of our transformers. In this position, operators would train to set up, layout, mark, and weld components using such tooling as calibrated measurement tools, an array of small hand tools, welding equipment, powered, hydraulic, pneumatic, and machine specific tooling to design specification and quantity per requested order. Operators will learn to weld materials such as mild steel and stainless steel with multiple welding apparatus, including both internal and external welded components with specialty welding in clamps and covers for the Medium and Large Power and our EHV Lines. The operator will be expected to select, load, and finish the material used in the operations to known or trained criteria. Industrial Welding equipment and techniques that will be utilized such as GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), SAW (Stick Arc), Stud Welding, GMAW-MC, and SMAW; including a variety of other specialized tooling like grinders, belt sanders, and cut wheel saws. These operations and procedures will involve both single and team movements like bending, twisting, kneeling, and utilizing fixtures, tables, overhead cranes, forklifts, or other powered industrial vehicles. Operators will be expected to train, sustain, and demonstrate continued proficiency in their technical skills; including further development in additional levels all to the highest levels of safety, craftsmanship, and professionalism all with a positive attitude and strong work ethic.

Examine workpieces for defects and measure workpieces with straightedges or templates to ensure conformance with specifications. Weld components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions. Recognize, set up, and operate hand and power tools common to the welding trade, such as shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding equipment. Select and install torches, torch tips, filler rods, and flux, according to welding chart specifications or types and thicknesses of metals. Check grooves, angles, or gap allowances, using micrometers, calipers, and precision measuring instruments. Melt and apply solder to fill holes, indentations, or seams of fa ricated metal products, using soldering equipment. Use fire suppression methods in industrial emergencies. Preheat workpieces prior to welding or bending, using torches or heating furnaces. Operate metal shaping, straightening, and bending machines, such as brakes and shears. Analyze engineering drawings, blueprints, specifications, sketches, work orders, and material safety data sheets to plan layout, assembly, and operations. Monitor the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material. Grind, cut, buff, or bend edges of workpieces to be joined to ensure snug fit, using power grinders and hand tools. ***** OTHER EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS: KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES Ability to follow instruction, apply effective time management skills, and complete assignments and expectations in a timely manner.
