Primary Purpose Of This Position

Weld steel parts for structural, plate, and miscellaneous steel assemblies per shop drawings and DWS quality requirements.

• Identify steel shapes, sizes, and mill tolerances.
• Weld together structural, plate or miscellaneous steel fabrication according to the weld symbols, weld procedures, dimensions shown on the shop drawings, and AISC code requirements.
• Preheat and/or cut work pieces using a hand torch when required. Clean welds of excess weld, splatter or slag using chipping hammers, wire brushes or grinders.
• Fabricate sub-pieces of the overall assembly as trained and instructed.
• Identify shop drawing errors and discrepancies before or during early stages of fabrication.
• Operate forklifts, jib cranes, and overhead cranes in order to move materials.
• Attend all meetings as required by management.
• Consistently and reliably work scheduled hours at assigned locations.

• Ability to read, write, and perform higher arithmetic computations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, decimals and fractions.
• Ability to understand and carry out semi-complicated verbal and written instructions.
• Ability to effectively communicate with co-workers and managers.
• Ability to work under periodic supervision focused on the progress of work and setting priorities for job completion.
• Skill in using tape measure or 1″ rule.
• Ability to maintain American Welding Society certification on 1‑inch plate in flat position using the gas metal arc welding and flux cored arc welding processes.
• Ability to pass the fillet weld break test using the gas metal arc welding process.
• Ability to pass a Drake‑Williams Steel administered basic welding test that covers shop drawing interpretation, weld symbols, welding processes, weld process symbol interpretation and application and a visual acuity test.
• Ability to pass a Drake‑Williams Steel administered fitting test that covers shop drawing interpretation, fractional number calculations, basic geometry, etc.
• Ability to interpret, understand, and utilize cutting lists, shop orders, and shop drawings.
• Ability to operate a cutting torch to meet American Welding Society specifications.
• Ability to possess pride in own workmanship, demonstrate attention to detail, and work safely.
• Ability to operate forklifts, jib hoists, and overhead cranes in a safe and proper manner. Use and understand industry and Drake‑Williams Steel adopted hand signals used for crane operations.
• Ability to make adjustments to welder to insure proper feed rate and temperature.
• Ability to multitask.

• Stand continuously over the course of the 8 to 12‑hour work shift.
• Walk continuously over the course of the 8 to 12‑hour work shift; distances range from a few feet to 60 feet.
• Lift weights up to 20 pounds from floor to chest continuously, and up to 35 pounds from floor to waist frequently. Lift up to 85 pounds from floor to waist occasionally.
• Carry weights noted above over distances ranging from a few feet to 60‑feet.
• Push and pull drawers open and closed occasionally to frequently to retrieve tools; push a beam attached to a jib or overhead crane to guide into place (force up to 35 pounds).
• Climb occasionally onto beams stacked on saw horses or climb a ladder of 6 to 10 feet while performing job duties.
• Stoop or crouch occasionally or frequently; hold position for a few seconds to 15 minutes.
• Kneel occasionally or frequently; hold position for a few minutes to 15 minutes.
• Crawl rarely under a beam to reach the opposite side; distance less than 3 feet.
• Reach forward continuously; reach to full forward extension occasionally.
• Reach overhead occasionally to guide a beam attached to the cranes or attach chains from the crane to the beams or to weld while underneath the beam.
• Balance occasionally to climb ladders and walk on steel beams.
• Gross finger dexterity skills to operate the various tools and equipment; a trigger squeeze motion required to operate the grinders. Fine finger dexterity is not required.

• Work 40 hours a week; overtime and weekend hours may be required.
