• Lays out parts and assemblies according to specifications.  Creates templates and other work aids to hold and align parts. Able rig ( cranes) and fixture parts to be welded.
• Welds components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions, and adjusts amperage, voltage, and speed during joining to assure required weld deposit
• Inspects grooves, angles, gap allowances, and related aspects of the assembly to ensure conformance to specifications, using micrometer, caliper, and related precision measuring instruments
• Familiar with welding gases and appropriate uses 
• Determines the type of welding to be used, such as metallic arc, inert gas, electrode, and oven treatment, applying knowledge of metals to be joined, contours and angles to be formed, and specified stress tolerances.

• handle tasks involving moderate physical exertion, and must also be able to stoop, bend, twist, and climb while working in rather confined areas at times
• wear a respirator or a positive-pressure welding hood if or when required
• achieve time and quality standards without compromising welding safety standards.
• operate overhead crane to position or move work piece
• demonstrate basic welding skills during initial test, which requires vertical and horizontal multiple-pass fillet welding on a small scale with 1/16 inch flux core and solid welding wire
• use air, power and hand tools, especially a torch and grinder
• function independently within context of  group’s day-to-day activities
• properly pre-heat parts for effective welding
• work overtime and weekends as work load dictates

Education, qualifications and certifications

• High school diploma or equivalent, technical training and certifications a plus

Experience

• Have 2-5 years of ,stick, tig  and mig welding  experience in a manufacturing environment
