Structural welders must meet several physical demands due to the nature of the work, including strength and stamina, manual dexterity, endurance, flexibility, visual acuity, balance and coordination, and the ability to work in various positions and environments. This role includes indoor fabrication shop and occasional outdoor work, with exposure to extreme conditions.

• Exposure to high noise levels from cutting, grinding, and welding operations.
• Presence of dust, fumes, and airborne particles, especially from welding and metal finishing.
• Variable temperatures due to weather and production activities.
• Occasional work at elevated heights or in confined spaces during inspections of large assemblies.

• Risk of cuts, burns, and abrasions from sharp edges, hot surfaces, and welding equipment.
• Potential for impact injuries from moving steel components, overhead cranes, forklifts, and other heavy machinery.
• Exposure to welding arcs and UV radiation; proper eye and skin protection required.
• Manual handling of heavy tools and materials; use proper lifting techniques.

• Must wear appropriate PPE including steel-toed boots, safety glasses, gloves, hearing protection, and flame-resistant clothing.
• Must be trained in hazards such as Haz Com, LOTO, fall protection, and confined space entry procedures.
• Expected to participate in regular safety meetings, audits, and emergency drills.
• Responsible for reporting unsafe conditions and contributing to continuous safety improvement.
• Must obtain OSHA 10 card for jobsite work.

Compliance:
Must follow OSHA safety standards and AISC Quality and Welding standards.

Work Schedule:

May include overtime, weekends, and night shifts depending on project deadlines.
