TIG/MIG welder

Job Description: MIG Welder (Fabricator/Production Welder)

Role Overview:
A MIG Welder is a production-focused professional who specializes in using Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) to join metal components efficiently and effectively. They are essential in manufacturing, construction, and fabrication environments where speed, strength, and consistency are paramount. This role is ideal for a hands-on individual who thrives in a fast-paced setting.

Key Responsibilities:

• Set up and operate MIG welding equipment to weld various ferrous metals (steel, stainless steel, etc.).

• Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and work orders to determine welding requirements.

• Perform high-quality welds on a variety of structures, from heavy frames and machinery to automotive parts.

• Monitor the welding process to avoid overheating, warping, or burn-through of materials.

• Conduct basic equipment maintenance, including replacing liners, contact tips, and gas cylinders.

• Perform visual inspections of completed welds to ensure they meet specified standards.

• Maintain a safe and organized work area, adhering to all company safety protocols.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Proven experience as a MIG Welder or in a similar fabrication role.

• Proficiency with wire-feed welders and an understanding of settings (voltage, wire speed, gas flow).

• Ability to weld in various positions (flat, horizontal, vertical, overhead).

• Strong attention to detail and the ability to produce consistent, strong welds.

• Knowledge of welding safety standards (e.g., proper use of PPE, ventilation).

• A high school diploma or GED is typically required; a technical certification or vocational training is a plus.

Job Description: TIG Welder (Precision Welder / Craftsman)

Role Overview:
A TIG Welder is a highly skilled artisan who specializes in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) to create precise, clean, and high-integrity welds. They work on projects where aesthetics, precision, and perfection are critical, often with challenging materials like thin-gauge metals, stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium. This role suits a meticulous and patient individual with a passion for craftsmanship.

Key Responsibilities:

• Set up and operate TIG welding equipment for a wide range of metals, including stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and titanium alloys.

• Read and interpret complex technical drawings, specifications, and weld symbols.

• Perform precise welding on thin materials, pipes, tubes, and intricate assemblies with extreme control.

• Carefully clean and prepare materials, ensuring all surfaces are free of contaminants for optimal weld quality.

• Manipulate the TIG torch and filler rod simultaneously to create uniform, high-integrity welds, often without defects.

• Work on critical applications in industries such as aerospace, motorsports, custom fabrication, and high-end architectural metalwork.

• Document welding procedures and parameters for specific projects.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Extensive proven experience as a TIG Welder, with a portfolio of work demonstrating skill.

• Expert proficiency in TIG welding on a variety of metals and alloys.

• Exceptional hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity.

• In-depth knowledge of joint types, fit-up, and weld preparation.

• Ability to pass specialized welding certifications for specific codes and standards (e.g., ASME, AWS).

• A patient, detail-oriented, and perfectionist mindset.

• A technical degree or certification in Welding Technology is highly desirable.
