Welder

Established in 1999, Onyett Fabricators is a dedicated shop providing fabrication and field services, welding,

and other structural metalwork for the coal, aggregate, and construction industries.

The Welder uses hand-welding or flame-cutting equipment to weld or join metal components or to fill holes, indentations, or seams of fabricated metal products.

• Operates safety equipment and uses safe work habits while performing his job function.
• Welds components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions.
• Ignites torches or starts power supplies and strikes arcs by touching electrodes to metals being welded, completing electrical circuits.
• Detects faulty operation of equipment or defective materials and notifies supervisors.
• Clamps, holds, tack-weld, heat-bend, grind or bolts component parts to obtain required configurations and positions for welding.
• Operates manual or semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal segments, using processes such as gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, and flux-cored arc, plasma arc, and shielded metal arc, resistance welding, and submerged arc welding.
• Monitors the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts of warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of materials.
• Examines work pieces for defects and measures work pieces with straightedges or templates to ensure conformance with specifications.
• Welder recognizes, set up, and operates hand and power tools common to the welding trade, such as shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding equipment.
• Will lay out, position, align, and secure parts and assemblies prior to assembly, using straightedges, combination squares, calipers, and rulers
