We are looking for a skilled Welder to cut and join metals and other materials at our facilities or construction sites. You will operate appropriate equipment to put together mechanical structures or parts with a great deal of precision. Your job is important as it provides the foundation for strong infrastructure. A welder must be competent in using potentially dangerous equipment following all safety precautions. The ideal candidate will also have a steady hand and great attention to detail. Knowledge of different kinds of metal and their properties is essential. The goal is to contribute to the construction and maintenance of strong and long-lasting buildings and products. As a Welder, you will be responsible for reading blueprints and drawings and taking or reading measurements to plan layout and procedures. You will determine the appropriate welding equipment or method based on requirements, set up components for welding according to specifications, and operate angle grinders to prepare the parts that must be welded. You will align components using calipers, rulers, and clamp pieces, and weld components using manual or semi-automatic welding equipment in various positions (vertical, horizontal, or overhead). You will also repair machinery and other components by welding pieces and filling gaps, test and inspect welded surfaces and structures to discover flaws, and maintain equipment in a condition that does not compromise safety. Additionally, you will be expected to follow all safety protocols and wear protective gear, keep work areas clean and organized, and collaborate with other team members to ensure project completion. The ideal candidate will have a high school diploma or equivalent, proven experience as a welder, experience using a variety of welding equipment and procedures (TIG, MMA, etc.), experience in using electrical or manual tools (saws, squares, calipers, etc.), and the ability to read and interpret technical documents and drawings. You should also have knowledge of relative safety standards and willingness to use protective clothing (face-shield, gloves, etc.), a professional certification (e.g. an AWS welding certificate) will be a plus, and a steady hand and great attention to detail. Physical stamina and strength are also essential for this role.
