Key Responsibilities
Welding Operations: Perform high-quality $CO_2$ / MIG welding on various steel grades, sheet metals, and structured components according to welding procedure specifications (WPS).
Machine Setup & Tuning: Set up welding parameters, including adjusting current, voltage, wire feed speed, and $CO_2$ gas flow rates to match material thickness and design joints.
Material Preparation: Clean, grind, clamp, and align metal workpieces prior to welding. Cut or bevel edges using hand grinders or torch cutters as specified.
Blueprint & Drawing Interpretation: Read and interpret baseline fabrication blueprints, engineering drawings, and weld symbols to locate precise joint lines.
Quality & Inspection: Conduct visual inspections of completed welds to ensure penetration uniformity and structurally sound joints. Identify and fix common defects like porosity, spatters, undercuts, or slag inclusion.
Consumable Management: Maintain and replace torch consumables regularly, including copper contact tips, gas nozzles, liners, and MIG wire spools.
Safety & PPE Maintenance: Strictly adhere to heavy engineering safety norms. Compulsory use of personal protective equipment (PPE) including auto-darkening welding helmets, leather aprons, welding gloves, and safety shoes.
