Description

As a Panel Welder II, you will independently perform panel welding and fabrication operations while meeting established print, quality, safety, and production requirements. You will interpret welding symbols and fabrication prints, identify components, complete welds to specification, verify weld quality and component positioning, and work with multiple materials and gauge thicknesses.

• Independently perform welding and fabrication responsibilities without routine support.
• Identify required parts and verify component requirements against fabrication prints.
• Interpret welding symbols on drawings and apply required welds accordingly.
• Verify completed weldments against fabrication prints to ensure all required welds have been completed.
• Use levels, squares, and related measuring tools to verify components are positioned and welded according to specification.
• Produce welds free of undercut, porosity, and other unacceptable conditions.
• Grind and clean welded components according to print and workmanship requirements.
• Apply appropriate welding techniques for different material types and gauge thicknesses, including galvanized and mild steel.
• Perform welding operations on components from at least two panel welding work-center lines, such as roof panels, wall panels, doors, or miscellaneous components.
• For roof-welding assignments, properly position roof panels within the weld cell and safely operate cranes when moving panels.
• Safely operate crane equipment after completing required training.
• Maintain awareness of forklift and crane operations and follow designated aisles, work zones, and storage areas.
• Safely operate power and hand tools, measuring devices, and work-center equipment, and maintain proper tool storage in accordance with 5S requirements.
• Use required welding PPE, including welding helmets, gloves, aprons, and other work-center-specific protective equipment.
