Copper Brazing Technician

We are seeking a skilled and safety-conscious Copper Brazing Technician to join our manufacturing team. This mid-level role is responsible for performing precision brazing of copper components, interpreting blueprints, operating torches and furnaces, and ensuring high-quality standards in product assembly. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with brazing techniques and a strong understanding of metallurgy and safety protocols.

Key Responsibilities:

• Join copper components by heating them and applying filler metal to create strong, leak-proof bonds.
• Interpret blueprints and written instructions to ensure accurate assembly and placement of copper parts.
• Operate single- and dual-tip torches safely and effectively, maintaining precise heat control throughout the brazing process.
• Clean, prepare, and assemble copper pipes and fittings prior to brazing.
• Follow strict safety procedures, including proper handling of compressed gases and maintaining a safe, organized workspace.
• Operate and monitor brazing furnaces and other related equipment as needed to support production.
• Assist with basic equipment maintenance and promote good housekeeping practices in your work area.
• Apply fluxing techniques to chemically remove oxides, provide a protective barrier against atmospheric gases, and facilitate the flow and wetting of filler metals.
• Monitor joint temperature visually during brazing.
• Utilize induction heating as an alternative method when appropriate.
