Precision TIG Fabrication Specialist

A day in this role

You start your shift by reviewing blueprints and job travelers, then power up your TIG machine to assemble thin-gauge metal components that must hit tight tolerances. You verify your first-article welds, record them in the E2 management system, and keep momentum by planning your sequence to meet delivery dates. As parts move, you clean and maintain your welding equipment, monitor fluid levels, and return fixtures and tooling as each job wraps. When something unexpected pops up, you troubleshoot, escalate to supervision if needed, and share set-up reduction or Lean 6S ideas that make the next run smoother.

What you'll do

• Perform TIG welding to assemble fabricated metal products efficiently and to specification; apply MIG knowledge as needed.
• Produce parts that meet all quality requirements; inspect and verify your work before submitting for final inspection.
• Hold tight tolerances and follow prints and technical documents throughout production.
• Meet time and schedule standards for each assigned task and customer delivery requirement.
• Keep welding stations and tools clean; maintain proper machine fluid levels.
• Return all fixtures and tooling upon job completion.
• Make routine decisions, solve day-to-day manufacturing issues, and seek assistance when appropriate.
• Communicate clearly with teammates and coordinate your own workflow.
• Spot opportunities for set-up reduction and Lean process improvements and relay them to the proper 6S team lead.
• Use the E2 management system properly and consistently to meet company standards.
