• Travel: minimal to none
• Must be proficient in numerous welding procedure specifications including small pipe qualification and various welding positions
• Must be able to use a scissor lift when needed to access welding work at heights.
• Successfully troubleshoot complex welding and fit-up issues independently
• Must be able to perform confined space welding as needed.
• Graduate of a welding and fabrication vocational or technical training program
• 7+ years of welding experience using drawings, specifications, charts and welding equipment
• Strong knowledge of shop math and basic geometry concepts
• 3+ years of experience in a pipe, pressure vessel or structural welding shop
• Will fit up and fully weld the most complex heat exchangers and tanks including custom fabrications and extremely complex tanks, with minimal guidance by reading and interpreting standard and custom part drawings. This can take place at elevated heights, while working on top of tanks or from elevated work platforms.
• Ability to follow verbal and written instructions and effectively apply to assigned work
• Ability to manage time effectively to meet strict time deadlines and production volumes
