- Welding Operations: Weld carbon steel assemblies to AWS D1.1 structural standards using GMAW (MIG) and FCAW (Flux-Core) processes.
- Material Handling & Rigging: Safely rig components and operate shop overhead cranes and jib cranes to move and position heavy weldments.
- Finishing & Quality Control: Use pneumatic and electric angle grinders, wire wheels, and drills to clean spatter, prep surfaces, and ensure parts meet strict dimensional criteria.
- Shop Safety: Comply with OSHA regulations, company standard operating procedures (SOPs), and proper personal protective equipment (PPE) protocols.
