Tig welder Jobs in USA

Position Summary:

• Weld components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions.

• Operate safety equipment and use safe work habits.

• Lay out, position, align, and secure parts and assemblies prior to assembly, using straightedges, combination squares, calipers, and rulers.

• Examine workpieces for defects and measure workpieces with straightedges or templates to ensure conformance with specifications.

• Recognize, set up, and operate hand and power tools common to the welding trade, such as shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding equipment.

• Weld separately or in combination, using aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, and other alloys.

• Clamp, hold, tack-weld, heat-bend, grind or bolt component parts to obtain required configurations and positions for welding.

• Select and install torches, torch tips, filler rods, and flux, according to welding chart specifications or types and thicknesses of metals.

• Ignite torches or start power supplies and strike arcs by touching electrodes to metals being welded, completing electrical circuits.

• Connect and turn regulator valves to activate and adjust gas flow and pressure so that desired flames are obtained.

• Determine required equipment and welding methods, applying knowledge of metallurgy, geometry, and welding techniques.

• Monitor the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material.

• Operate manual or semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal segments, using processes such as gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, flux-cored arc, plasma arc, shielded metal arc, resistance welding, and submerged arc welding.

• Analyze engineering drawings, blueprints, specifications, sketches, work orders, and material safety data sheets to plan layout, assembly, and welding operations.

• Mark or tag material with proper job number, piece marks, and other identifying marks as required.
