Are you a professional welder looking for a new opportunity?? Welders use accepted trade methods and a variety of manual welding processes, for example, several different gas torch processes, various electric are processes including inert gas shielded ones, or a number of both kinds of processes, to weld all types of commonly used metals and alloys of various sizes, shapes, and thicknesses, including dissimilar metals such as copper to steel. Welders also assure complete penetration when required as well as complete fusion of base and filler metals. They control the metals and the welding techniques to prevent distortion or burning of the metals, and to meet weld dimension, tolerance, strength, and other requirements. The welds are made in all positions including flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead.

Job Description:

• In this role you will be in the non-supervisory work of welding metals and alloys.
• The work requires knowledge of electric, gas, and other welding processes such as electron beam welding, and the skill to apply these processes in manufacturing, repairing, modifying, rebuilding, and assembling various types of metal and alloy parts, equipment, systems, and structures such as buildings, aircraft, and ships.
• You will determine the welding techniques to use and select the proper materials such as the right size and type of welding electrodes or rods.
• You will plan and lay out the work from blueprints, sketches, drawings, specifications, and work orders.
• The welder will apply a variety of manual welding processes to make more difficult welds, including welds in hard to reach places that must meet close tolerance, strength, and other requirements, for example, evenness of fit and smoothness of contour. Final products are reviewed to see that welds are free from cracks, slag, or other defects, and meet specifications and accepted trade standards. Welds are subject to radiographic, magnetic particle, dye penetrant, pressure inspection, and other tests.

Requirements:

• Welders may be involved in the gas welding torch processes such as oxy-acetylene, and other industrial gases. The arc processes used (including inert gas-shielded ones) involve methods such as gas metal-arc, gas tungsten-arc, gas carbon-arc, plasma-arc, and atomic hydrogen welding.
• Welders apply knowledge of welding standards and how various metals and alloys such as different kinds of steel, chrome, aluminum, cast iron, nickel, Monel, brass, copper, bronze, magnesium, beryllium, and titanium react to different welding processes and techniques.

*OSHA-10 certification is required. If you currently do not possess an OSHA-10, we will give you the opportunity to take the course prior to your employment.*
