A SAW Welder (also known as a Sub Arc Operator) controls and operates submerged arc welding equipment to produce high-quality welds, primarily in heavy fabrication, structural steel, pressure vessels, pipes, and industrial equipment.

Key Responsibilities
- Setup & Operation
- Set up automatic or semi-automatic SAW equipment based on job specifications and safety procedures.
- Monitor the welding process continuously to ensure consistency in galvanic deposition and weld integrity.
- Blueprint & Specification Interpretation
- Read and interpret technical drawings, blueprints, welding symbols, and relevant process documentation to determine welding parameters.
- Material Preparation & Handling
- Prepare metal surfaces by cutting, cleaning, and aligning components according to weld spec.
- Install and secure workpieces in jigs or fixtures for accurate welding.
- Quality Inspection & Testing
- Visually and mechanically inspect welds for defects, such as porosity or cracking, meeting acceptance criteria and process specs.




- Record production metrics and report deviations to supervisors or engineers.
- Maintenance & Troubleshooting
- Perform routine maintenance on welding machinery—adjust amperage, voltage, flux feed rates, and wire speeds to optimize performance.
- Promptly address minor equipment issues to avoid workflow disruption.
- Safety & Compliance
- Adhere to established safety protocols—use protective gear (helmets, gloves, boots, etc.) and manage slag removal and smoke extraction safely.
- Maintain work areas in compliance with regulatory standards.
- Team Collaboration
- Work closely with weld inspectors, engineers, fitters, and other welders for project coordination and continuous improvement.

Skills & Qualifications
- Educational Background
- High school diploma or equivalent; vocational or technical diploma in welding or metal fabrication is preferred.
- Certifications
- Certifications in submerged arc welding (SAW) or from recognized bodies such as AWS/CW
