TIG Welder

Position Summary:Weld components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions.Operate safety equipment and use safe work habits.Lay out, position, align, and secure parts and assemblies prior to assembly, using straightedges, combination squares, calipers, and rulers.Examine workpieces for defects and measure workpieces with straightedges or templates to ensure conformance with specifications.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.Weld separately or in combination, using aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, and other alloys.Clamp, hold, tack-weld, heat-bend, grind or bolt component parts to obtain required configurations and positions for welding.Select and install torches, torch tips, filler rods, and flux, according to welding chart specifications or types and thicknesses of metals.Ignite torches or start power supplies and strike arcs by touching electrodes to metals being welded, completing electrical circuits.Connect and turn regulator valves to activate and adjust gas flow and pressure so that desired flames are obtained.Determine required equipment and welding methods, applying knowledge of metallurgy, geometry, and welding techniques.Monitor the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material.Operate manual or semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal segments, using processes such as gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, flux-cored arc, plasma arc, shielded metal arc, resistance welding, and submerged arc welding.Analyze engineering drawings, blueprints, specifications, sketches, work orders, and material safety data sheets to plan layout, assembly, and welding operations.Mark or tag material with proper job number, piece marks, and other identifying marks as required.Weld components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions.Operate safety equipment and use safe work habits.Lay out, position, align, and secure parts and assemblies prior to assembly, using straightedges, combination squares, calipers, and rulers.Examine workpieces for defects and measure workpieces with straightedges or templates to ensure conformance with specifications.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.Weld separately or in combination, using aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, and other alloys.Clamp, hold, tack-weld, heat-bend, grind or bolt component parts to obtain required configurations and positions for welding.Select and install torches, torch tips, filler rods, and flux, according to welding chart specifications or types and thicknesses of metals.Ignite torches or start power supplies and strike arcs by touching electrodes to metals being welded, completing electrical circuits.Connect and turn regulator valves to activate and adjust gas flow and pressure so that desired flames are obtained.Determine required equipment and welding methods, applying knowledge of metallurgy, geometry, and welding techniques.Monitor the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material.Operate manual or semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal segments, using processes such as gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, flux-cored arc, plasma arc, shielded metal arc, resistance welding, and submerged arc welding.Analyze engineering drawings, blueprints, specifications, sketches, work orders, and material safety data sheets to plan layout, assembly, and welding operations.Mark or tag material with proper job number, piece marks, and other identifying marks as required.Have thorough understanding of TIG Welding fundamentals and operation.Must have ability to produce quality welds on a variety of materials as needed.Set-up and maintain equipment, settings, gas, choosing proper rod etc.Read drawings and measure with gage’s, calipers etc. per instructions.Set-up and maintain production consistency, reviewing weld quality, proper fitting and weld techniques.Maintain organized, clean work area.Operate safety equipment and use safe work habits.Assist with other TIG Welders when needed.**Qualifications:**Possess a minimum of 2 years’ experience in welding in a manufacturing environment or equivalent training/education.Has 2 years or more experience with welding Aluminum Sheet Metal.Must have considerable knowledge of principles and practices of TIG Welding, effective oral, and written communication skills.You should be proficient in:Welding Setups for ProductionBlueprint ReadingStainless SteelAluminumMachines & technologies you'll use:MIG WelderTIG Welder #J-18808-Ljbffr
