Through our two global business units - Storage Solutions, the world leader in tanks, terminals, and storage systems, and Asset Solutions, a leading provider of operations, management, wells and decommissioning services - we combine technical excellence with execution capability to extend asset life, optimize performance, and maximize value.

Welds together metal components of products, as specified by layout, blueprints, diagram, work order, welding procedures, or oral instructions, using electric arc-welding equipment.

• Guides electrode or welding gun along the weld line, maintaining arc length and movement speed to achieve specified fusion depth and bead quality, based on metal color, weld sound, and molten puddle size.
• Selects and inserts the specified electrode into a holder or threads consumable wire through the welding gun.
• Connects welding unit cables to set amperage, voltage, slope, and pulse per Welding Engineer specifications.
• Activates power supply to generate electric current.
• Strikes arc to produce heat, depositing metal from the electrode to join workpiece edges.
• Performs welding in flat, horizontal, vertical, or overhead positions.
• Inspects welds for bead size and compliance with specifications.
• May manually apply filler rod to supply weld metal.
• May clean or degrease joints using wire brush, grinder, or chemical bath.
• May repair broken/cracked parts, fill holes, or prepare surfaces by grooving or scarfing.
• May remove excess weld, slag, and spatter using scraper or chipper; may preheat workpieces with torch or furnace.
• May position, clamp, or assemble workpieces in jigs or fixtures; may tack assemblies.
• May cut metal plates or structural shapes.
• May be designated by equipment type (e.g., Carbon Arc, Flux-Cored Arc, Gas-Metal Arc, etc.).
• May operate other machine shop equipment to prepare components.
• May be required to pass performance or certification tests.
• Responsible for following all safety and project rules, including wearing required PPE.
• Performs other duties as assigned.

Physical Requirements 

NP=Not Present, O=Occasionally (0-33%), F=Frequently (34-66%), C=Constantly (67-100%) 

• Work environment: Normal work environment will be shop or field which will require exposure to outdoor weather conditions, loud noise, working near moving mechanical parts, electrical energy, construction equipment, vibration, fumes, chemicals and airborne particles. 
• Communication Skills: Ability to effectively verbally communicate directions from craft supervisors, and respond to questions from managers and fellow workers. 
• Mathematical skills: Ability to apply concepts such as fractions, percentages, ratios and proportions to practical situations. 
• Capable of certifying on single process plate being proficient in SMAW or GMAW welding processes. 
• May require x-ray qualities. 
• May require a high school diploma or its equivalent with previous years of experience in the field or in a related area 

• Certified in SMAW or GMAW welding processes, with the ability to weld single-process plate to required standards; may require x-ray quality welds. 

• Understands commonly-used concepts and procedures in the welding field; follows established guidelines and instructions.
