About the Job

Requirements

A high school diploma or equivalency certificate is required.
At least 2 years of experience, including experience from a college welding program, in two of these processes is required: flux-cored arc welding, shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, or gas metal arc welding.
Ability to stand for at least 8 hours and lift up to 25 pounds unassisted.
Ability to stand, kneel, crouch, climb, twist the upper body, and work in cramped positions.
Ability to work at heights up to 100 feet and in confined spaces.
Ability to work in extreme outdoor environments, including heat, cold, and rain.
Ability to work in an environment exposed to fumes, odors, sparks, and noise.

Fit up and weld structures or pipe spools made of mild carbon steel, low alloy, stainless steel, aluminum, or exotic materials, depending on business needs.
Communicate with management, supervisors, engineering staff, and planners to achieve build efficiency.
Perform fabrication math to derive dimensions, angles, pup lengths, and part locations from drawings, including pipe-fitting take-offs.
Analyze engineering drawings and specifications to plan fitting and welding operations when procedural information is unavailable.
Continuously seek to improve operations, decrease turnaround times, streamline work processes, and work cooperatively with others.
Check drawings and instructions after each work-order operation to ensure they are complete.
Handle and dispose of hazardous materials in an approved manner.
