Key Responsibilities:

• Precision Welding: Execute high-quality MIG (GMAW) welds on steel and ductile iron pipe.
• Fabrication: Read blueprints/job sheets to cut, fit, and align flanges, outlets, and couplings.
• Quality Assurance: Ensure all fabrications meet strict NFPA and safety standards; perform leak/pressure testing.

Responsibilities

• Custom Pipe Fabrication: You will weld various fittings, flanges, and joints to different sizes of steel and ductile iron pipe. This is often "code welding" for high-pressure systems.
• Blueprint & CAD Interpretation: You must read application job sheets and technical drawings to calculate lengths, angles, and fit-up requirements accurately.
• Semi-Automatic Welding: Much of the work involves operating, calibrating, and maintaining semi-automatic welding machines (GMAW/MIG) to ensure consistent, high-volume production.
• Quality Control (Zero Defect): You are responsible for analyzing your own welds for porosity, slag, or discontinuities. Every weld must be visibly stamped or marked with your certified welder ID.
• Material Handling: You'll use manipulators and positioners to handle heavy piping (often 50+ lbs) and ensure perfect alignment before the final pass.
