Welder
Posted
The Welder is primarily responsible for performing high-quality fabrication and repair of critical machine components and structural supports, specializing in TIG and MIG welding of stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum, as specified by engineering blueprints and complex welding symbols. This role requires meticulous attention to detail during the cutting, grinding, fitting, and joining processes, ensuring all finished welds meet stringent dimensional tolerances and quality standards necessary for high-precision glove manufacturing machinery. Furthermore, the Welder is expected to maintain and safely operate all welding and fabrication equipment while adhering strictly to all company safety protocols and contributing to a clean, organized work environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Welding & Fabrication:
- Perform high-quality welding on stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum components, primarily using TIG (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) and MIG (Gas Metal Arc Welding) processes.
- Read, interpret, and accurately execute work based on blueprints, engineering drawings, and welding symbols.
- Fabricate, assemble, and modify metal parts for machine frames, process piping, and structural supports of the glove manufacturing equipment.
- Quality & Inspection:
- Inspect finished welds to ensure they meet specified tolerances and quality standards (e.g., penetration, bead width, smoothness).
- Utilize measuring tools (calipers, tape measures, squares) to ensure parts are dimensionally correct before and after welding.
- Grind, cut, and finish metal surfaces as required for smooth assembly and aesthetic appearance.
- Maintenance & Safety:
- Operate and maintain welding equipment, cutting torches, plasma cutters, and other fabrication tools in a safe and proper manner.
- Adhere strictly to all company safety policies and procedures, including wearing appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) at all times.
- Participate in general shop housekeeping and preventative maintenance of equipment.
