· Basic computer literacy for data entry into manufacturing execution systems (MES/ERP).

Skills & Abilities:

· Strong manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination for precision joint fit-up and torch/orbital head control.

· Solid understanding of metallurgy, filler metals, and shielding gas selection for stainless steel and specialty alloys.

· Detail-oriented with a strong quality mindset and ability to self-inspect work to zero-defect standards.

· Effective written and verbal communication; able to collaborate with engineering, quality, and production teams.

· Ability to work independently under general supervision, using standard operating procedures to resolve routine problems.
