Job Title: Visual Weld Auditor
Department: Quality / Fabrication
Reports To: Welding Engineer
Position Summary The Visual Weld Auditor is responsible for auditing and verifying the quality of welds produced in the sheet metal fabrication shop. This role ensures welds meet company standards, customer specifications, and applicable codes, through visual inspection and use of basic measurement tools. The Visual Weld Auditor provides feedback to welders, documents findings, and supports continuous improvement of welding quality.
Key Responsibilities
Perform visual weld inspections on sheet metal assemblies to ensure compliance with engineering drawings, customer specifications, and internal weld standards.
Audit welds for size, length, contour, and finish quality, checking for common discontinuities such as undercut, porosity, overlap, cracks, and incomplete fusion.
Use basic measuring tools (e.g., fillet weld gauges, calipers, weld size gauges) to verify weld dimensions.
Document inspection results, maintain audit records, and communicate nonconformances to production and quality teams.
Support welders with feedback to promote consistent weld quality and adherence to standards.
Work closely with weld engineers, quality engineers, and supervisors to resolve quality issues.
Participate in root cause investigations for weld-related defects and assist with corrective/preventive action implementation.
Help maintain visual acceptance criteria reference samples and shop weld standards.
Support training and development by reinforcing proper weld acceptance criteria with welders.
Ensure inspection tools are calibrated and maintained in good condition.
Follow all safety and company policies while working in the manufacturing environment.
Qualifications
High school diploma or equivalent required; technical training in welding or quality inspection preferred.
Prior hands‑on welding or fabrication experience strongly preferred.
Familiarity with weld types (MIG, TIG, spot welding, etc.) used in sheet metal fabrication.
Ability to read and interpret welding symbols and engineering drawings.
Basic knowledge of weld discontinuities and visual acceptance criteria.
Strong attention to detail and ability to communicate findings clearly.
Comfortable working on the shop floor in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment.
Preferred Skills (Not Required)
Experience with weld auditing or quality control in a sheet metal or fabrication environment.
Exposure to AWS D1.1/D1.3 or equivalent shop standard.
Requirements:
Ability to effectively communicate with all levels within the organization.
Weekend support might be needed.
Multi‑tasking with keen attention to detail and accuracy.
Must be able to work safely and move at a moderate to fast pace across specified terrain for extended periods of time.
Must be able to lift to 40 lbs on occasion.
Manipulate medium to large objects, materials, or tools on occasion.
