- Verify quality: check penetration, bead appearance, dimensional accuracy, and overall integrity of completed welds.
- Use precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges) to confirm part dimensions.
- Prepare joints and materials by cutting, grinding, cleaning, fitting, and positioning prior to welding.
- Tack weld and fixture parts to hold alignment, squareness, and specified dimensions.
- Troubleshoot and correct weld defects and quality issues as they arise.
- Care for equipment; escalate any tooling or machine concerns promptly.
