Welder - Combo

Overview

Welders use accepted trade methods and a variety of manual welding processes to weld all types of commonly used metals and alloys of various sizes, shapes, and thicknesses, including dissimilar metals such as copper to steel. Welders assure complete penetration and fusion of base and filler metals, control welding techniques to prevent distortion, and meet weld dimension, tolerance, strength, and other requirements in all welding positions.

Perform non-supervisory work of welding metals and alloys

Apply electric, gas, and other welding processes to manufacture, repair, modify, rebuild, and assemble metal parts, equipment, systems, and structures

Determine appropriate welding techniques and select proper materials such as electrodes or rods

Plan and lay out work from blueprints, sketches, drawings, specifications, and work orders

Perform difficult welds in hard to reach areas requiring close tolerance and strength requirements

Ensure welds meet specifications for fit, contour, and smoothness

Inspect completed welds to ensure they are free from cracks, slag, or other defects

Ensure welds meet accepted trade standards and pass required inspections and testing methods
