Desired candidate profile

Key Responsibilities of a Welder:

1. Welding Operations:

   • Join Metal Parts: Welders use various techniques to join two or more metal pieces together, ensuring strong and precise welds. This may involve a combination of manual and machine-operated equipment.
   • Operate Welding Machines: Use welding machines and tools such as MIG (Metal Inert Gas), TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), Stick, and Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) to perform welding tasks.
   • Read Blueprints and Technical Drawings: Interpreting welding blueprints and technical specifications to determine the exact position, angle, and type of weld required.
   • Ensure Proper Fit-Up and Alignment: Set up parts to be welded, ensuring proper alignment, fit-up, and clearance for welding.

2. Cutting, Grinding, and Polishing:

   • Use cutting tools (e.g., oxy-acetylene torch, plasma cutter) to cut metal parts to the required dimensions before welding.
   • Grind and polish welded surfaces to ensure smoothness, remove slag, and prepare for painting or other finishing procedures.
   • Perform finishing work to ensure the final product meets both functional and aesthetic standards.

3. Inspection and Quality Control:

   • Inspect and test welded joints to ensure they meet specific standards of strength, durability, and appearance.
   • Use tools like calipers, micrometers, or ultrasonic inspection devices to measure the quality of welds.
   • Identify any defects, such as cracks, porosity, or incomplete fusion, and take corrective action.

4. Maintenance of Equipment:

   • Maintain and troubleshoot welding equipment and tools, ensuring they are in good working condition.
   • Clean welding equipment, including nozzles, tips, and cables, to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
   • Ensure that gas cylinders, electrodes, and filler materials are properly stored and handled according to safety guidelines.

5. Safety and Adherence to Codes:

   • Follow strict safety protocols to avoid accidents related to fire, burns, electric shock, or toxic fumes.
   • Use proper personal protective equipment (PPE), including welding helmets, gloves, jackets, respirators, and eye protection.
   • Adhere to local, industry, and environmental codes and standards (e.g., OSHA, American Welding Society (AWS), and other safety regulations).
