Assembly Welder | Welding | 2nd Shift

Welder The Welder role is a heavy manufacturing position that focuses on the fabrication and welding of pre-fab and machined components, vital internal sub-components of our transformers. In this position, operators would train to set up, layout, mark, and weld components using such tooling as calibrated measurement tools, an array of small hand tools, welding equipment, powered, hydraulic, pneumatic, and machine specific tooling to design specification and quantity per requested order. Operators will learn to weld materials such as mild steel and stainless steel with multiple welding apparatus, including both internal and external welded components with specialty welding in clamps and covers for the Medium and Large Power and our EHV Lines. The operator will be expected to select, load, and finish the material used in the operations to known or trained criteria. Industrial Welding equipment and techniques that will be utilized such as GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), SAW (Stick Arc), Stud Welding, GMAW-MC, and SMAW; including a variety of other specialized tooling like grinders, belt sanders, and cut wheel saws. These operations and procedures will involve both single and team movements like bending, twisting, kneeling, and utilizing fixtures, tables, overhead cranes, forklifts, or other powered industrial vehicles. Safety: Uphold all safety protocols and wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Collaboration: Work closely with Supervision, Team Members, Team Leads, Instructors, Engineering, Quality Assurance departments, and other functions as required.

Precision & Quality: Follow Print Drawings, Technical Data Sheets, Bills of Material and specifications to ensure exact alignment, spacing, and assembly of Components
