Form of workJOB SUMMARY:
Responsible for making welds that will comply with applicable code(s), and for accurate fabrication of piping configurations.
ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS:
welding/cutting on pipe systems. For example, repairs to machinery,
equipment, or fabrication of structural items.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATION:
Knowledge/Skill/Ability
- Ability to accurately fabricate piping configurations.
- Ability to work from spool sheets, isometric drawings, or blueprints.
- Ability to make sound weld elements which will pass X-ray examination per applicable code(s).
- Ability to perform mathematical calculations related to the work (addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division).
- Pass qualification test(s) per customer requirements as well as any applicable Government (State) tests or be in possession of qualification papers that are acceptable to the Customer.
Education/Experience:
- Completion of high school is preferred.
- Some reading is required to work from drawings or spool sheets.
- Should be able to add, subtract, multiply, and/or divide to facilitate accurate dimensioning for
for fabricated assemblies.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS:
Walking/balancing and moving about on foot to perform work on rough terrain or physical impediments such as mud, ice, sand,or snow.
Stooping, crouching, bending, kneeling, or assuming other body postures to make welds/cuts.
Reaching overhead to make welds.
Talking, expressing and exchanging ideas through verbal
Communication as in communicating with personnel at the job
site where equipment and construction noises are present and talking
at high volume is required.
Either seeing, naturally or corrected, so as to observe blueprints, sketches, or other drawings as well as to make sound welds.
Hearing and perceiving the nature, intent and meaning of sounds including instructions, warnings and other verbal communication
at job sites where construction and heavy equipment noise are present.
Physical flexibility to allow changing of work position(s) with no significant passage of time. (20 seconds or less)
Carrying or transporting objects, for example, boxes of welding rods or gas cylinders, usually by holding or controlling the weight with the
hands or arms and/or shoulders.Grasping as in holding or grasping tools, controls, materials and
other objects in performing essential welding functions at the job site.
Lifting or raising objects up to 50 lbs. from a lower to a higher
elevation, including equipment, materials and/or tools at a job site.
Capable of performing heavy work (exerting up to 100 lbs. of force up
to 1/3 of the time, and/or up to 50 lbs. of force up to 2/3 of the time,
and/or up to 20 lbs. of force more than 2/3 of the time to move objects.)
Climbing, ascending or descending ladders, scaffolds, or similar
devices, using feet and legs and/or hands or arms, to reach higher
levels of elevation at construction or job sites, often carrying tools
or materials.
Balancing, as in maintaining equilibrium while working from heights
with the welding hood in the down position.
. Eye-hand-foot coordination, as in using hand and/or power tools.
SPECIAL JOB DIMENSIONS:
Job involves exposure to weather extremes including heat, cold, wet, wind, or humidity. Also involves exposure to high noise levels. The work may or may not be performed under shelter from any of the elements of nature. Some of the work will be performed in ditches. The work involves exposure to arc flash from the welding operation. The job may require working 6 or 7 days per week with 12 hour or longer work days being required. this type schedule could go on for an extended period of time.
