Purpose

Welders are responsible for accurately reading and interpreting blueprints and project specifications, selecting the appropriate materials and welding methods while rigorously adhering to safety standards. They must be proficient at setting up, operating, and maintaining welding equipment, and proactively inspect welded surfaces, structures, and components to detect defects and ensure strict conformance to design specifications.

Education Requirements

· Trade certificate or equivalent qualification in welding/fabrication (or proven apprenticeship).

· Welding qualifications/certificates for MIG desirable (or demonstrated competency).

Experience Requirements

· Minimum 3 to 8 years’ hands-on welding experience (MIG) in a production or fabrication environment.

· Proven ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, welding symbols and customer specifications.

· Experience using measuring tools (micrometer, calipers, height gauges) and basic bench fitting.

Physical Requirements

· Frequent standing, walking, bending, kneeling and working in confined spaces.

· Ability to lift and carry up to 20 kg safely and use hand-held power tools.

· Comfortable working near heat sources, sparks, fumes and in noisy environments while wearing PPE.

· Valuable manual dexterity and vision (near-vision) for fine welding work.

Competency Requirements

· Strong attention to detail and quality focus.

· Practical problem-solving and mechanical aptitude.

· Good communication and teamwork.

· Safety mindset - consistently follows safe work procedures and uses PPE.





· Time management and ability to meet deadlines in a job shop environment.

Responsibilities

Under general supervision

1. Perform MIG and other required welding processes to fabricate and join metal components in accordance with drawings and welding procedure specifications.
2. Read and interpret engineering drawings, welding symbols and job tickets; select correct materials, filler metals and welding parameters.
3. Set up, operate and monitor welding machines and supporting equipment (wire feeders, torches, gas systems, fume extraction).
4. Prepare components: cutting, grinding, beveling, fit-up and tack-welding to ensure correct assembly before final weld.
5. Carry out visual and dimensional inspections of welds and assemblies; identify defects and complete rework or notify Quality when required.
6. Finish welded products: grinding, cleaning, polishing and preparing for painting or further assembly.
7. Maintain accurate job records, including welding parameters, consumable usage and basic WPS (Welding Procedure Specification) notes as required.
8. Perform daily equipment checks, routine maintenance and report defects to Millwright immediately.
9.



Follow all workplace safety processes, use required PPE, maintain a clean work area and participate in toolbox talks / safety meetings.
10. Assist with product assembly, jigging and fixturing as required to meet production flow and deadlines.
11. Support continuous improvement initiatives by suggesting process improvements, waste reduction and participation in root-cause analysis for welding defects.
12. Train and mentor junior welders and apprentices when required.
