Tack weld (SMAW/stick) components into place prior to final weld-out.
Confirm alignment, dimensions, and tolerances; rework when needed to meet quality standards.
Conduct in-process quality checks against engineering requirements.
Operate fabrication equipment safely while following HTI’s safety and quality procedures.
Collaborate with welders and other trades to complete large structural assemblies.
