• Lay down consistent, clean GTAW (TIG) and/or GMAW (MIG) welds on components and assemblies.
• Work directly from blueprints, fabrication drawings, weld symbols, and written work instructions.
• Configure welding equipment: choose the right process settings, filler/wire, shielding gas, and technique for the job.
• Verify quality: check penetration, bead appearance, dimensional accuracy, and overall integrity of completed welds.
• Use precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges) to confirm part dimensions.
• Prepare joints and materials by cutting, grinding, cleaning, fitting, and positioning prior to welding.
• Tack weld and fixture parts to hold alignment, squareness, and specified dimensions.
• Troubleshoot and correct weld defects and quality issues as they arise.
• Care for equipment; escalate any tooling or machine concerns promptly.
• Work safely at all times, following PPE rules and OSHA-aligned procedures.
• Keep a tidy, organized workstation that supports safe and efficient flow.

• Solid hand-eye coordination and mechanical aptitude.
• Physical stamina to stand for long periods and perform repetitive tasks.
