Overview

Welds together metal components of products, as specified by layout, blueprints, diagram, work order, welding procedures, or oral instructions, using electric arc-welding equipment.

Responsibilities

- Guides electrode or welding gun along the weld line, maintaining arc length and movement speed to achieve specified fusion depth and bead quality, based on metal color, weld sound, and molten puddle size.

- Selects and inserts the specified electrode into a holder or threads consumable wire through the welding gun.

- Connects welding unit cables to set amperage, voltage, slope, and pulse per Welding Engineer specifications.

- Activates power supply to generate electric current.

- Strikes arc to produce heat, depositing metal from the electrode to join workpiece edges.

- Performs welding in flat, horizontal, vertical, or overhead positions.

- Inspects welds for bead size and compliance with specifications.

- May manually apply filler rod to supply weld metal.

- May clean or degrease joints using wire brush, grinder, or chemical bath.

- May repair broken/cracked parts, fill holes, or prepare surfaces by grooving or scarfing.

- May remove excess weld, slag, and spatter using scraper or chipper; may preheat workpieces with torch or furnace.

- May position, clamp, or assemble workpieces in jigs or fixtures; may tack assemblies.

- May cut metal plates or structural shapes.

- May be designated by equipment type (e.g., Carbon Arc, Flux-Cored Arc, Gas-Metal Arc, etc.).

- May operate other machine shop equipment to prepare components.

- May be required to pass performance or certification tests.

- Responsible for following all safety and project rules, including wearing required PPE.

- Performs other duties as assigned.
