Who You Are

A Welder at Pelsue is a skilled metalworker with a keen eye for detail and precision. You understand the importance of structural integrity, aesthetics, and consistent quality in every weld you make. Whether working on small components or large assemblies, you take ownership of your craft and demonstrate discipline in following safety protocols, standard operating procedures, and quality standards.

• Perform MIG and/or TIG welding on mild steel, aluminum, or stainless steel under guidance.
• Read basic blueprints and welding symbols to execute standard welds.
• Inspect welds for general accuracy, correcting minor defects as needed.
• Assist in setting up welding machines (voltage, wire feed speed, gas settings) as directed.
• Perform basic maintenance (cleaning, wire changes) and report equipment issues.
• Adhere to PPE requirements (helmets, gloves, protective clothing).
• Maintain a clean, organized workstation and dispose of scraps safely.
• Follow all safety protocols and participate in safety training as required.
• Work closely with Fabrication Technicians and Welders II/III to learn best practices.
• Communicate any issues or delays to your manager promptly.

• Perform complex welding tasks in various positions with minimal supervision.
• Handle multiple material types and thicknesses accurately.
• Collaborate with engineers and fabrication team to meet specific weld and design requirements.
• Read and interpret advanced welding symbols and detailed blueprints.
• Conduct intermediate-level inspections, measuring dimensions to ensure weld integrity and compliance with tolerances.
• Complete initial root‑cause analysis for welding defects and assist in corrective actions.
• Diagnose common machine or material issues (e.g., wire feed inconsistencies, porosity).
• Perform scheduled preventative maintenance to keep equipment in top condition.
• Train and mentor Level 1 Welders on proper techniques and safety practices.
• Suggest improvements to welding processes, material flow, or equipment usage to reduce cycle time and scrap.

• Lead highly specialized or intricate welding projects requiring advanced skills.
• Ensure compliance with high tolerances, codes, and project‑specific certifications.
• Serve as the primary welding resource for cross‑functional teams (Engineering, Quality, Production).
• Develop and refine welding techniques or jigs/fixtures that enhance speed, accuracy, and quality.
• Conduct in‑depth inspections, analyze defects, and drive corrective/preventive actions across the department.
• Assist in implementing Lean, Six Sigma, or other continuous improvement initiatives.
• Evaluate and recommend new welding technologies or consumables to improve productivity.
• Collaborate with management on capital investment proposals for advanced welding equipment.
• Mentor Welders I/II with advanced training, feedback, and skill assessments.
• Coordinate with Fabrication Supervisors or Managers on scheduling and resource allocation.
• Represent the welding department in inter‑departmental meetings or high‑level reviews when needed.

• Welding Proficiency:
  Skilled in MIG/TIG processes, able to interpret welding symbols, and understand different filler metals and gases.
• Quality Orientation:
  Familiar with inspection techniques, welding codes, and best practices in metal fabrication.
• Safety & Compliance:
  Complies with OSHA requirements, PPE standards, and follows internal safety guidelines.
• Core Values:
  Exhibits discipline in safety and quality, demonstrates grit in overcoming challenges, and fosters trust in structural integrity and collaboration.

• Level 1:
  Entry‑level; no leadership responsibilities.
• Level 2:
  Guides entry‑level welders and may oversee small welding projects.
• Level 3:
  Provides technical leadership across the welding team; mentors multiple welders and leads advanced initiatives.

Primarily in a fabrication/welding shop with exposure to sparks, fumes, heat, and noise. Requires adherence to proper PPE, including welding helmets, gloves, protective clothing, and hearing/eye protection as necessary.
