Job description
Pipe WelderResponsible for producing sound, code- and specification-compliant welds on fabricated pipe assemblies in a custom fabrication environment. The Pipe Welder works from drawings, weld symbols, job requirements, and applicable Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), coordinating closely with pipe fitters to verify joint preparation and fit-up before welding. Relocation assistance available if moving from out of the area up to $4500.Primary ResponsibilitiesPerform pipe welding in the processes and positions required by assigned work and applicable WPS requirements.Review drawings, weld symbols, joint details, and job specifications before beginning work.Verify joint preparation, bevel condition, root opening, alignment, cleanliness, and fit-up before welding; communicate problems rather than welding over an incorrect fit-up.Produce consistent root, fill, and cap passes as required while maintaining proper profile, penetration, fusion, and overall weld quality.Control heat input and welding sequence to help minimize distortion and movement of fabricated assemblies.Identify visible weld defects or workmanship concerns and correct or report them before the assembly moves to the next operation.Use welding machines, grinders, torches, hand tools, and related equipment safely and correctly.Perform weld cleanup and preparation between passes as required by the process, WPS, or job requirements.Coordinate with fitters, supervision, and Quality personnel when drawings, fit-up, materials, or weld requirements are unclear.Maintain productive work habits while protecting weld quality and job requirements.Experience & QualificationsPrevious pipe welding experience in an industrial or fabrication environment preferred.Ability to pass the applicable M J & H Fabrication weld test(s) for the work being performed.Working knowledge of pipe joint preparation, welding positions, weld sequencing, and common pipe fabrication practices.Ability to read fabrication drawings, weld symbols, and WPS requirements.Experience with applicable welding processes used for fabricated pipe work is preferred.Ability to use common measuring tools and verify basic dimensions and fit-up.Skills & AbilitiesStrong welding technique and hand-eye coordination.Ability to recognize improper joint preparation, alignment, contamination, or fit-up before welding.Ability to follow written procedures and job-specific requirements.Mechanical aptitude and attention to detail.Ability to work independently after receiving job instructions and communicate problems promptlySafety & Quality ExpectationsRegularly stand, bend, kneel, reach, climb, and work in fabrication positions required to access pipe joints.Lift and handle tools, leads, consumables, and fabrication materials within safe working limits.Work around welding arc, sparks, grinding, heat, noise, fumes, and moving fabrication equipment.Must be able to wear required PPE and safely perform work in a fabrication shop environment.Physical & Work EnvironmentFollow all company safety rules, PPE requirements, hot-work practices, and equipment procedures.Follow applicable WPS, drawing, and job requirements; do not make unauthorized changes to weld details or procedures.Protect material identification and traceability where required.Maintain clean work surfaces and prevent contamination that may affect weld quality.Report drawing discrepancies, damaged material, poor fit-up, or other conditions that could affect the finished assembly.Compensation & BenefitsPay is dependent on experience, skills, and qualifications.
