Southern Fabrication Works is seeking Welders. Welders use hand-welding or flame-cutting equipment to weld or join metal components or to fill holes, indentations, or seams of fabricated metal products. Fits and welds or repairs as assortment of fixtures, weldments, sheet metal, machined castings, machined forgings, machined parts, and so on.
Welders works under the specific supervision, guidance, and direction of the Fabrication Shop and Production Managers, and the general supervision of the owner.
Interested candidates will be detailed oriented. Have two years’ experience TIG welding and be able to set up a welding machine by themselves. Candidates will have experience welding stainless steel.
The following is a minimal description of specific areas of accountability for a Welder:
- Welds a wide range of materials, i.e., iron, carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, nonferrous metals, etc. using the G.T.A.W. process.
- Adjusts welding apparatus (select voltages, pressures, etc.).
- Performs set ups requiring aligning, blocking, and clamping of components to maintain specifications and avoid distortion.
- Has working knowledge of resistance, induction, stud, gas and automatic Tig welding.
- Sets up tooling and establishes parameters for all prototype and production jobs.
- Dimensionally inspects welds and other characteristics of parts being welded.
- Must have personal tools as required.
- Always maintains good housekeeping practices.
- Understands, implements, and maintains the company's quality policy in the performance of all duties and responsibilities.
- Weld components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions.
- Operate safety equipment and use safe work habits.
- Lay out, position, align, and secure parts and assemblies prior to assembly, using straightedges, combination squares, callipers, and rulers.
- Examine workpieces for defects and measure workpieces with straight edges or templates to ensure conformance with specifications.
- Recognize, set up, and operate hand and power tools common to the welding trade, such as shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding equipment.
- Weld separately or in combination, using aluminium, stainless steel, cast iron, and other alloys.
- Clamp, hold, tack-weld, heat-bend, grind, or bolt component parts to obtain required configurations and positions for welding.
- Select and install torches, torch tips, filler rods, and flux, per welding chart specifications or types and thicknesses of metals.
- Determine required equipment and welding methods, applying knowledge of metallurgy, geometry, and welding techniques.
- Monitor the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material.
- Operate manual or semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal segments, using processes such as gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, flux-cored arc, plasma arc, shielded metal arc, resistance welding, and submerged arc welding.
- Analyse engineering drawings, blueprints, specifications, sketches, work orders, and material safety data sheets to plan layout, assembly, and welding operations.
- Mark or tag material with proper job number, piece marks, and other identifying marks as required.
- Other duties as assigned
