Pipe Welder

Genesis Industrial Staffing is looking for the following.

Location - Pensacola, FL.

Welder
Job Summary: Skilled tradesmen whose primary jobs consist of welding together metal components as specified by blueprints, work orders, or instructions from supervisor or management. The welder utilizes knowledge of working characteristics of metal and non-metal materials including the knowledge of the equipment to be used in the process. In the sequence of work activities, the welder's job follows that of the fitters, welding together structural components that have previously been fit and tacked into place. The welding of components may require flat, overhead and vertical positions.


Hours:

• Typical working hours are 40 hours per week
• Work that exceeds 40 hours is considered overtime
• A 10-minute paid morning break is taken daily
• A 30-minute unpaid lunch break is provided

Tool List:

Basic tools that are provided by the Employee:


Welding Shield
Leathers
Safety Toed Shoes Crescent Wrench
Needle Nose Pliers

Shipyard provided tools and equipment:
Scaling Guns, Flux Core Box / Wire Feeder, Hard Hat, Ladders, Grinders, Chipping Hammer, Drop Lighting, ARC Gougers, Respirator (1st issue), Welding Gloves, Electrodes, Respirator Filters, Grinding Shield, Wire Spools, Ear Plugs, Ventilation Blowers, Welding Lines and Cables, Safety Glasses, Safety Harness/Fall Protection.

I. Essential Function: After receiving the work assignment from immediate supervisor, a welder must first obtain the tools and equipment necessary to complete the job and set up their equipment. The welder will obtain a specified electrode and insert it into a portable holder or thread a consumable electrode wire through a portable welding gun. The welder will connect cables from the welding unit to obtain amperage, voltage, slope, and pulse as specified by operating procedures. The welder will then operate a power supply unit to produce electric current. The worker may also prepare a surface to be welded. This function can take place in a variety of locations to include elevated heights, confined or enclosed spaces with restricted access or entry. Openings often range from 18" up to 24".

Physical Demands: This function primarily involves standing and walking and carrying
on a constant basis while preparing to begin the given job. The welder may have to carry their welding box (weighing approximately 50 pounds with a full spool of wire) for a distance that will, in general, not exceed 200 yards. A 50' welding line, when coiled, can weigh up to 45 pounds multiple lines may also need to be carried for distances within the working area. The number of times this function is performed in each day will vary considerably; however, a typical day might involve moving to multiple work areas. Welder must be able to gain access and work in areas of elevated heights or through openings ranging from 18" to 24".

II. Essential Function: The welder is responsible for welding together structural components, which have been pre-assembled and tacked, into place. Welding equipment is used to generate heat to melt and deposit metal from an electrode to a work piece, thereby joining together two otherwise separate components. The welder will manually guide an electrode or gun along a welding line, maintaining the length of arc and speed of movement necessary to form a specific depth of fusion and bead. This function can take place in a variety of locations to include elevated heights, confined or enclosed spaces with restricted access or entry. Openings often range from 18" up to 24".

Physical Demands: Standing and walking is required on a frequent basis. Bending,
squatting, pulling/pushing, reaching, and handling are also required on a frequent basis. Hand control and fine motor skills are required on a continuous basis. Work may be performed in enclosed spaces with limited access openings and require the use of a respirator. Lifting, carrying and pulling objects requiring 30 to 40 pounds of force is required on an occasional basis. Lifting, carrying and pulling objects that range from 0 to 29 pounds occurs on a frequent basis. Welder must be able to gain access and work in areas of elevated heights or through openings ranging from 18" to 24".



III. Essential Function: After completing a weld, the welder will examine the work and chip off excess weld, slag, and splatter using a power grinder, scaling guns, pneumatic chippers, or manual chipping hammers. This function can take place in a variety of locations to include elevated heights, confined or enclosed spaces with restricted access or entry. Openings often range from 18" up to 24".

Physical Demands: This function primarily involves standing and walking, performed on a frequent to constant basis. The worker will handle small power tools and power cords, which do not require more than 30 pounds of force for the use. This function does require constant bending of the waist and frequent walking, standing, and handling. In addition, this function also requires kneeling, crawling, crouching, stooping and climbing. Hand control is required on a constant basis while fine motor skills are required on an occasional basis. Welder must be able to gain access and work in areas of elevated heights or through openings ranging from 18" to 24". Transportation:
It is the responsibility of each individual to provide or arrange his or her own transportation to and from the shipyard.
Take Appropriate Safety Measures:
When working from heights or around edges, it's the responsibility of each employee to insure there are sufficient rails in place to prevent falls. Rails must surround all deck openings according to the OSHA regulations and the policy and procedures. Employees are responsible for checking lanyards and harnesses before use when working in hazardous high locations. Employees must protect themselves from UV radiation and ensure sufficient ventilation is available in closed spaces to remove any toxins that result from burning and welding.

All Workers Are Required To Wear Safety Equipment Including: Hard Hat, Safety Glasses, Ear Plugs, and Safety Toed Shoes. Respirators And Fall Protection is to be worn when working in areas that require additional protection.


Standard Practice: Employees are often required to perform other jobs beyond the essential functions of their primary job. These jobs could consist of, but not be limited to, assisting other employees in the cleaning and picking up of debris from other areas were work is preformed, partnering with employees to complete work with more stringent deadlines. Filling in temporarily for an absent employee.
