Produce welds in flat, horizontal, and vertical positions using gas-shielded flux core wire welding procedures, ensuring strength and appearance meet acceptable standards.
Clean completed welds using grinders or brushes where required.
Apply appropriate welding sequences to minimize shrinkage or distortion during fabrication.
Inspect and maintain welding equipment (e.g., welding machines, leads, tig & flux-core boxes, grinders) at the start of every shift.
Clean and stencil/stamp completed welds per specifications, ensuring each weld is marked appropriately (3/8” from the weld and every three feet along weld length).
Other duties as assigned by supervisor.

Demonstrate visible leadership and support the proactive safety processes (JSA, Time Out & TEAM BBS Observations) to achieve an incident free workplace and advance our safety culture.
Adhere to all “Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) Management Systems” policies, procedures, safe work & best practices guidance as well as regulatory and client site specific policies and procedures.
Leaders must make a personal commitment and be accountability for the HSE results, driving towards achievement of HSE goals. These goals must be clearly communicated through their direct reports, with clear expectations while coaching, mentoring and empowering others to achieve the desired results.
