- Ensured that all welds met code requirements through visual inspection methods such as radiography testing where applicable.
- Monitored the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material.
- Conducted flux core arc welding when applicable.
- Applied shielded metal arc welding techniques with electrodes in flat, horizontal vertical positions as well as overhead applications.
- Gathered required materials for each project in order to meet production deadlines.
- Cleaned joints before beginning any type of welding process by chipping off slag with a hammer or wire brush.
- Determined appropriate filler metal type based on joint design and material being joined together.
- Fabricated and welded components to assemble structural forms, such as machinery frames, tanks, pressure vessels, and furnace shells.
- Constructed templates and jigs for fabrication according to blueprints.
- Repaired broken or cracked parts using cutting torches and welding equipment.
- Read blueprints, drawings related to projects in order to determine proper dimensions of components being fabricated, welded together.
- Operated manual or semi-automatic flame-cutting equipment to cut metal for fabrication of products.
- Repaired structures by dismantling, reshaping and reassembling metal components with cutting torches and hand tools.
