Welding Technician

EXO Inc. has been protecting public infrastructure across the U.S. since 2009. Without consistent maintenance and quality assurance, critical assets face a growing risk of failure over time. EXO delivers engineering, inspection, and remediation services for lighting poles, transmission towers, and other infrastructure exposed to ongoing wear from usage, aging, and environmental conditions. With deep expertise in vertical infrastructure, EXO builds on years of engineering design and fabrication experience across utilities, telecom, transportation, and retail sectors. This foundation supports a comprehensive inspection and asset management approach that addresses both new installations and aging structures requiring immediate attention. Recognizing that full replacement is often impractical due to cost and safety constraints, EXO developed its Ex-Tend approach to manage assets throughout their entire life cycle. From initial quality assurance to ongoing inspection and targeted repairs, this method is designed to extend service life and improve reliability. Supported by data-driven insights, EXO helps clients monitor asset conditions and make informed, strategic decisions. Position Overview: The Welder is responsible for performing welding tasks using the Self Shielded Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW-S) and/or Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) processes.

The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of welding techniques, safety procedures, and quality standards to ensure high-quality workmanship. Key Responsibilities: Welding Operations: Perform welding tasks using Self Shielded Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW-S) and Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) processes. Read and interpret blueprints, specifications, and welding symbols to determine welding requirements. Select and set up appropriate welding equipment, machinery, and materials. Execute welding operations in all positions, including flat (1G & 1F), horizontal (2G & 2F), vertical (3G & 3F), and overhead (4G & 4F). Quality Control: Inspect and verify welded components for accuracy, completeness, and adherence to specifications. Perform weld tests and inspections to ensure compliance with quality standards. Identify and rectify defects such as cracks, porosity, and incomplete fusion. Safety and Compliance: Adhere to safety protocols and procedures to ensure a safe working environment. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times. Maintain a clean and organized work area to prevent accidents and injuries. Equipment Maintenance: Perform routine maintenance on welding equipment and tools. Report any equipment malfunctions or needed repairs to the supervisor. Ensure welding machines and tools are in good working condition. Collaboration and Communication: Collaborate with team members, supervisors, and other departments to complete projects. Communicate effectively with colleagues and supervisors to ensure project specifications are met. Participate in team meetings and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives. Documentation and Reporting: Maintain accurate records of welding activities, including time, materials used, and project completion status. Complete necessary documentation and reports as required by the supervisor or project manager. #J-18808-Ljbffr
