Job Role –

A Welder in a fabrication factory is responsible for joining metal components and structures using various welding techniques, ensuring the production of high-quality, precise, and structurally sound welded assemblies.

Key Responsibilities –

Welding Operations:

• Perform welding operations using techniques such as MIG (Metal Inert Gas), TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), ARC (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), and oxyacetylene welding.
• Select the appropriate welding method based on project specifications, materials, and thickness.
• The welder should have a basic understanding of electrical connections required for welding and related activities.
• The welder should have knowledge of visual and fortress installation as part of the site execution requirements.
• Required to full fill responsibility of technician as well.

Blueprint Interpretation:

• Read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and fabrication plans to determine welding requirements, layouts, and dimensions.
• Ensure accurate alignment and fit of components before welding.

Material Preparation:

• Prepare metal surfaces by cleaning, grinding, cutting, and shaping them to meet welding standards.
• Verify the accuracy of measurements and dimensions to ensure precise assembly.

Safety Compliance:

• Strictly adhere to safety protocols, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), maintaining a safe workspace, and following hazard communication guidelines.
• Promote a culture of safety awareness among team members.
• The welder is responsible for maintaining 5S

Equipment Operation and Maintenance:

• Set up, operate, and maintain welding equipment, including welding machines, gas cylinders, grinders, and related tools.
• Perform routine equipment inspections and basic maintenance tasks to ensure optimal performance.

Physical Requirements:

• Welders in a fabrication factory should have physical stamina and flexibility to work in various positions and environments, including confined spaces or at heights.

Continuous Improvement:

• Stay up to date with welding technologies, emerging techniques, and industry best practices.
• Participate in training programs and skills development to enhance welding proficiency.

Problem Solving:

• Identify and troubleshoot welding issues promptly, making necessary adjustments to maintain quality and project timelines.

Documentation:

• Maintain detailed records of work performed, including welding logs, inspection reports, and material usage.
• Provide documentation for traceability and quality control purposes.

Key Performance Expectations and Behavioural Requirements –

• Avoid unplanned leave.
• Ensure timely arrival at the site.
• Avoid abusive behaviour, unwanted confrontation, and misconduct.
• Comply with document requirements: ID card, photo, visiting pass, work permit, gate pass, etc.
