Core Responsibilities
Equipment Setup: Calibrate, configure, and operate both Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW/MIG) and Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW/ARC) machines.
Material Preparation: Read blueprints, structural drawings, and welding symbols to clean, cut, and fit metal pieces together prior to welding.
Execution: Perform structural welds in various positions (., vertical, overhead, flat) while controlling the heat to prevent metal warping or distortion.
Post-Welding: Grind, buff, and inspect the finished welds for structural integrity, defects, or porosity using precision instruments.
Safety & Maintenance: Strictly follow safety protocols (PPE), wear protective gear, and maintain a clean work environment, including daily machine upkeep.
Key Skills & Requirements
Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of metal properties (steel, stainless steel, aluminum), wire electrodes, and shielding gases.
Physical Stamina: Ability to stand for long periods, lift heavy materials (up to 20 kg), and work in confined or extreme-temperature environments.
Education/Certification: Typically requires an ITI Welder (Industrial Training Institute) diploma, vocational training, or completed apprenticeship, alongside recognized certifications.
