The Welder Fitter A performs a wide variety of complex and customized welding duties on standard and custom engineered parts. They perform very complex custom weldment fit up on tanks and heat exchangers of all sizes and weights using the gas metal arc welding/flux cored arc welding (GMAW/FCAW) welding process. This role directs other team members on their tasks when working in tandem on the same vessel and they perform the most complicated and dangerous rigging tasks when moving large vessels.
- Interacts with the Engineering team on designs and fabrication challenges as needed.
- Fosters conditions that allow people and communities to reach their full potential
- Maintains work area in neat, clean, and orderly condition and observes all safety regulations and practices.
- Reads appropriate Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) and is capable of interpreting welding variables and assures that all parameters within the WPS are adhered to.
- Troubleshoots engineering drawings and reviews with management when issues are identified.
- Will weld full penetration welds on small diameter pipe using the GMAW process.
- Completes the most complicated welding repairs and performs final welding operations on complex weldments as needed.
- Timely completion of all welding operations within the operational time limits and according to Taco’s quality protocols
- Performs the most complex lifting/rigging activities using 10- & 20-ton cranes.
- Maintains necessary records, completes transactions within the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and accesses company intranet as needed for work instructions.
- Works independently using drawings, specifications, WPS and verbal instructions.

- 7+ years of welding experience using drawings, specifications, charts and welding equipment
- Small pipe diameter in rotated horizontal position
- Uses FCAW/GMAW welding process, with or without backing, in the flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead positions, on both steel and stainless-steel materials.
- Full understanding of relevant Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and the ability to follow all parameters within
- 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.
- 3+ years of experience in a pipe, pressure vessel or structural welding shop
- Ability to manage time effectively to meet strict time deadlines and production volumes
- Ability to navigate multiple windows in company ERP system to access production and resource data
- Must be able to perform confined space welding as needed.
- Is mindful about family, health and well-being
