Welder

Overview

Responsible for performing welding tasks to fabricate and repair metal structures and components. Work with various materials, including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, using different welding techniques and equipment. Ensure T.D. Williamson (TDW) products meet the highest standards of quality and durability.

NOTE: This is a 2nd shift position; any interested applicants would need the availability to work Monday through Thursday, 4:30 p.m. to 3 a.m.

• Perform MIG, TIG, flux core, sub arc and/or carbon arc welding on metal components and assemblies according to blueprints, specifications, and safety standards.
• Interpret and follow blueprints, schematics, and welding symbols to accurately complete welding tasks.
• Inspect welds for accuracy, completeness, and adherence to specifications; conduct tests to ensure welds meet required standards.
• Operate and maintain welding equipment and tools, including setting up machines, changing electrodes, and ensuring proper functioning.
• Prepare materials for welding by cutting, arc gouging, grinding, and cleaning metal surfaces; handle and store materials safely and efficiently.
• Follow all safety protocols and guidelines to maintain a safe working environment; report any safety hazards or equipment malfunctions.
• Work closely with others to ensure timely completion of projects and resolve any welding-related issues.

MIG, TIG, flux core, sub arc and carbon arc welding experience or any combination of education and experience.

• Working knowledge of welding techniques, materials, and equipment.
• Excellent precision and accuracy in welding tasks including a commitment to producing high-quality work.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and technical drawings.
• Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment.
• Can lift up to 50 lbs.
• Ability to endure prolonged periods of standing, and work in various positions such as kneeling, crouching, bending, stooping, squatting or lying down to access different parts of the project.
