Responsibilities

Select the type and size of pipe or other related materials and equipment according to specifications.
Select equipment and plan layouts, assembly, and welding using knowledge of geometry, metal machining physical properties, weld shrinkage, and welding techniques.
Use gas-metal arc, flux-cored arc, gas-tungsten arc, submerged arc, or shielded metal arc welding processes when required.
Lay out, position, align, and fit components together in various body positions.
Bolt, clamp, and weld metal components—including piping systems, plate, pipe, tube, or structural shapes—using arc and arc-gas welding equipment; weld in flat, horizontal, vertical, or overhead positions and tack-weld assemblies as needed.
Connect the cable from the welding unit to obtain the amperage, voltage, slope, and pulse specified by the procedure or supervisor.
Obtain the specified electrode and insert it into a portable holder, or thread consumable electrode wire through a portable welding gun.
Start the power supply to produce electric current.
Strike an arc to generate heat, melt and deposit metal from the electrode, and join work-piece edges.
Manually guide the electrode or gun along the weld line while maintaining arc length, speed, and movement to achieve the specified fusion depth and bead, judging by metal color, weld sound, and molten-puddle size.
Manually apply filler rod to supply weld metal when required.
Clean or degrease weld joints or the workplace using a wire brush, portable grinder, or chemical bath when needed.
Repair broken or cracked parts and fill holes when needed.
Remove excess weld, defective weld material, slag, and spatter using a carbon-arc gouge, hand scraper, grinder, or power chipper when needed.
Preheat work pieces using a hand torch or heating furnace when required.
Cut metal plates or structural shapes when required.
Examine welds for bead size and other specifications.
Load, transport, and unload materials, tools, equipment, and supplies.
Assist in lifting, positioning, and securing materials and work pieces during installation when required.
Perform minor maintenance or cleaning of tools and equipment.
Assist other mechanics as needed.
Observe and comply with all safety and project rules, and perform other duties as required.
Make decisions based on measurable criteria, apply basic mathematics to solve problems, plan work, select appropriate tools, visualize three-dimensional objects from plans and drawings, and compare the size, shape, and form of lines, figures, and objects.
