Electric Welder

Welding Operations:

• Interpret blueprints, drawings, and welding symbols to determine welding requirements and specifications.
• Set up welding equipment, including welding machines, electrodes, and safety gear, in accordance with welding procedures.

Metal Preparation:

• Prepare metal surfaces for welding by cleaning, grinding, and beveling to remove contaminants and achieve proper fit-up.
• Position and secure metal parts or assemblies using clamps, jigs, and fixtures to maintain alignment during welding.

Electric Arc Welding:

• Perform electric arc welding using manual, semi-automatic, or automatic techniques to join metal components.
• Strike and maintain an electric arc between the welding electrode and the workpiece, creating a molten pool that solidifies to form a welded joint.

Quality Control:

• Inspect welded joints for defects, such as cracks, porosity, or incomplete fusion, using visual inspection or non-destructive testing methods.
• Repair or rework defective welds to meet quality standards and specifications.

Safety and Compliance:

• Follow safety procedures and regulations to prevent accidents, injuries, and hazardous exposures during welding operations.
• Adhere to welding codes, standards, and best practices to ensure the integrity and durability of welded structures.

Qualifications

• Certification or training in electric arc welding techniques and procedures from a recognized institution.
• Proven experience as an electric welder or arc welder in a manufacturing, construction, or industrial setting.
• Proficiency in using welding equipment, tools, and materials.
• Knowledge of welding processes, metallurgy, and materials properties.
• Attention to detail and precision in welding operations and quality control.
• Physical strength and stamina to perform welding tasks, including lifting, bending, and standing for extended periods.
• Ability to work independently or as part of a team in a fast-paced environment.

The Electric Welder position requires a skilled individual who can effectively join metal parts together using electric arc welding processes, ensure quality and integrity in welded structures, and contribute to the success of manufacturing or construction projects.
