Must able to pass at a minimum the plate test: 1” carbon steel plate test, welded in 2G position with square plate on bottom and beveled plate on top) This will be a Mig stringer and Fluxcore fill and cap. It will have to pass visible inspection, UT and X-ray
A Structural Combination Welder fabricates, fits, and welds structural steel components (beams, columns, plates) using multiple processes like FCAW, GMAW, and SMAW/Stick. They interpret blueprints, operate fabrication tools, and perform high-quality welds in various positions (vertical, overhead) to meet industry structural standards.
Key Responsibilities
Welding & Fabrication: Perform FCAW, GMAW (MIG), and SMAW (Stick) welding on carbon steel and other metals, utilizing both welding and fitting techniques to construct, maintain, and repair metal components.
Blueprint Interpretation: Read, interpret, and follow complex structural blueprints, structural fabrication drawings, and welding symbols.
Fit-Up and Layout: Lay out, align, fit, and secure components using jigs, fixtures, clamps, and tack welding before final welding.
Equipment Maintenance: Set up, adjust, and perform routine maintenance on welding machines, torches, grinders, and air arc gougers.
Quality Control: Inspect welds to ensure they meet visual quality standards, structural specs, and code compliance.
Safety Compliance: Adhere strictly to safety regulations (OSHA), including PPE usage, hot work permits, and proper handling of gas cylinders.
Required Skills and Qualifications
Experience: Generally 3-5+ years of experience in structural steel fabrication or industrial welding.
Certifications: Often requires AWS (American Welding Society) certifications (e.g., D1.1 structural) or the ability to pass onsite weld tests (TIG/SMAW/FCAW).
Technical Skills: Strong proficiency in FCAW and SMAW; knowledge of welding positions (1G-4G, 6G).
Physical Abilities: Capable of lifting, working at heights, operating in confined spaces, and holding precise positions for extended periods.
Tools: Proficient in using grinders, torches, tape measures, and precision measuring tools.
Work Environment
Often involves working in heavy industrial settings, fabrication shops, or construction sites (bridges, ships, buildings).
Exposure to high heat, noise, and confined spaces.
May require working in high-stress or fast-paced project environments #ZR
