Welder

Core-Competency:

Skilled in:

• MIG (Metal Inert Gas) Welding, TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) Welding (preferred for aluminum parts), Arc welding / SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding)
•  Applies suitable technique based on material type and thickness, Produces: Uniform, spatter-free weld beads, Crack-free, properly penetrated welds, Neat fillet and butt welds as per drawing requirements,Minimizes distortion, undercuts, and porosity
•  Reads and interprets: 2D fabrication drawings, Welding symbols, joint types, weld length, and leg size,Understands part orientation, positioning, and assembly order
•  Adjusts machine parameters (voltage, amperage, wire feed speed) for: Mild steel (MS), Galvanized steel (GI/HDGI), Aluminum (for solar structure brackets/rails)
• Understands pre- and post-welding cleaning for coated or treated surfaces, Visually inspects and performs basic NDT prep (dye-penetrant, bend tests)
•  Identifies and rectifies: Porosity, cracks, lack of fusion, and burn-throughs
•  Follows proper safety protocols: Uses welding shield, gloves, apron, and ear protection, Maintains safe working area, ventilation, and fire safety readiness
•  Uses clamps, jigs, and fixtures to ensure repeatable and accurate part positioning, Helps in weld setup for batch production
•  Fills basic production logs: Weld checklists, part count, time logs, and rejection reports, Tracks consumable use (welding wire, gas, electrodes)
•  Works closely with: Fitters, Quality Inspectors, and Production Supervisors, Takes feedback positively and aligns work with production pace
•  Open to learning new welding techniques, better jig usage, and quality enhancement, Participates in toolbox talks, 5S, and lean practices on the shopfloor
