Read and interpret blueprints, sketches, and welding process specifications to determine the appropriate welding techniques and materials required for the job.

Select appropriate welding equipment and electrodes based on the type of metal, welding position, and project requirements.

Clean and prepare metal surfaces by removing rust, scale, grease, and other contaminants to ensure proper weld penetration and quality.

Set up welding machines by adjusting voltage, amperage, and gas flow rates to achieve optimal welding parameters.

Weld metal components together using various welding techniques, such as MIG, TIG, stick, and flux-cored arc welding, while adhering to safety standards.

Inspect welds for defects, such as cracks, porosity, and incomplete fusion, and perform necessary repairs to meet quality standards.

Maintain welding equipment by performing routine maintenance, troubleshooting malfunctions, and replacing worn or damaged parts.

Follow safety protocols and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as welding helmets, gloves, and safety glasses, to prevent injuries.

Collaborate with engineers, supervisors, and other team members to ensure that welding projects are completed on time and within budget.

Document welding activities by maintaining accurate records of welding parameters, materials used, and inspection results.

Continuously improve welding skills and knowledge by attending training programs, workshops, and seminars to stay updated on the latest welding techniques and technologies.
