Duties

• Read and interpret detailed blueprints, schematics, and technical drawings to ensure accurate fabrication and assembly of components and tank accessories.
• Weld components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions.
• Operate manual or semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal segments, using processes such as gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, flux-cored arc, plasma arc, shielded metal arc, resistance welding, and submerged arc welding.
• Monitor the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material.
• Examine workpieces for defects and measure workpieces with straight edges or templates to ensure conformance with specifications.
• Use hand tools, power tools, and other fabrication equipment to shape, fit and fabricate our tanks.
• Lay out, position, align, and secure parts and assemblies prior to assembly, using straightedges, combination squares, calipers, and rulers.
• Select and install torches, torch tips, filler rods, and flux, according to welding chart specifications or types and thicknesses of metals.
• Measure materials precisely using calipers, micrometers, and other measuring tools; apply basic math skills for accurate cuts and fits.
• Operate equipment and forklifts safely for material handling and assembly tasks on the production floor.
• Fabricate custom tanks by cutting, bending, and assembling tanks based on schematics or technical instructions.
• Maintain a clean and organized work environment while adhering to safety protocols at all times during welding, machining, or fabrication activities.

Experience

• Experience working with metal structures or fabrication projects.
• Hands-on experience with welding processes; familiarity with welding preferred.
• Knowledge of blueprint reading, schematics interpretation, and technical drawings essential for precise fabrication.
• Skilled in using hand tools, power tools, plasma cutters, press brakes, and machining equipment in a manufacturing setting.
• Ability to perform basic math calculations accurately for measurements and material estimations.
• Mechanical knowledge of pipe threading, assembly techniques, rigging procedures, and ductwork fabrication highly desirable.
• Familiarity with ASME codes & standards related to welding and fabrication practices is a plus. Join us if you're passionate about crafting high-quality metal products through expert welding and fabrication! We value safety-minded professionals who thrive in collaborative environments while delivering exceptional craftsmanship that meets industry standards. This is an excellent opportunity to advance your skills in a vibrant manufacturing setting dedicated to innovation and excellence.
