Responsibilities

• Read and interpret welding drawings, isometrics, and WPS to determine joint design, welding sequence, and specifications.

• Perform welding using processes such as SMAW, GTAW/TIG, GMAW/MIG, FCAW, and SAW as required by the job.

• Prepare materials for welding — cutting, beveling, cleaning, and fit-up of joints.

• Select correct electrodes, filler wires, and welding parameters based on material type and thickness.

• Perform tack welding and ensure proper alignment before final welding.

• Inspect welds for defects (porosity, undercut, cracks) and rectify as needed.

• Operate welding machines, grinders, and related tools/equipment safely.

• Conduct visual inspection of own work; coordinate with QC for NDT (RT, UT, DPT, MPT) as required.

• Follow WPS and PQR requirements strictly to maintain weld quality and code compliance.

• Maintain and calibrate welding equipment; report malfunctions.

• Follow HSE guidelines — proper PPE (welding helmet, gloves, apron), fire watch, ventilation, and fume extraction procedures.

• Maintain records of welds completed, joints, and material usage as required.
