hoses, connections, and gas supplies before use.

● Store and handle cylinders, filler materials, and consumables correctly; perform authorised routine maintenance and report equipment defects or gas leaks.

● Use prescribed PPE, including a suitable welding helmet, gloves, protective clothing, safety footwear, and eye protection.

● Follow hot-work, fire-prevention, ventilation, fume-extraction, electrical-safety,

and heavy-component handling procedures.

● Keep the workstation clean, remove hazards, and report incidents, near misses,

and unsafe conditions immediately.

● Coordinate with fitters, fabricators, helpers, machine operators, and supervisors to meet schedules while reducing defects, rework, consumable wastage, and component damage.

1. Qualifications and Experience

● ITI in Welder trade preferred; relevant vocational training or equivalent practical experience may be considered. ● Preferably 2–5 years of industrial welding and metal fabrication experience.

● Demonstrated hands-on proficiency in both TIG and MIG welding is mandatory.

● Ability to read fabrication drawings, understand weld symbols, and perform correct joint preparation.





● Knowledge of welding parameters, filler materials, shielding gases, inspection,

and common weld defects.

● Relevant recognised welding certifications are preferred and may be mandatory for specific projects.

● Valid 4G or 5G qualifications are an advantage when applicable to the required process, material, and welding position.

1. Required Skills

● Robust TIG and MIG welding capability with consistent workmanship. ● Drawing interpretation, dimensional accuracy, and defect identification.

● Safe handling of welding equipment, cylinders, and consumables.

● Ability to work independently, follow approved procedures, and coordinate with production teams.

● Attention to detail, punctuality, safety awareness, and commitment to production deadlines.

1. Wage and Employment Terms

Final wages will depend on practical test results, verified certification, welding quality, material experience, independence, and job complexity. Payment will follow recorded attendance and the agreed wage cycle. Working hours, overtime, weekly rest, leave,

and statutory benefits will follow company policy and applicable Indian labour laws.

1. Selection Process
2. Screen relevant experience and verify welding certificates and their scope.
3. Conduct practical TIG and MIG welding tests using representative materials and

joints.
1. Assess weld quality, drawing interpretation, joint preparation, machine setup, and

safety awareness.
1. Conduct additional 4G or 5G testing where required.
2. Final selection by an authorised KMW representative.

3. Performance Expectations

Produce welds that meet approved quality requirements, follow applicable welding procedures and safety standards, minimise defects and rework, maintain equipment responsibly, and complete assigned jobs within production timelines.
