Measures of Success
Full understanding of relevant Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and the ability to follow all parameters within.
Timely completion of all welding operations within operational time limits and according to Taco’s quality protocols.
Capability of welding fillet and groove welds without backing in both horizontal and flat positions.
Ability to resolve minor welding and fit‑up issues with minimal guidance.
Responsibilities
Works mostly independently using drawings, specifications, WPS and verbal instructions.
Uses various types of welding equipment and a variety of common hand and power tools.
Performs fit‑up and fully welds a variety of tank and heat‑exchanger subassemblies including standard and custom fabrications, with minimal guidance, by reading and interpreting standard and custom part drawings.
Performs final welding operations on complex weldments that have been fit up by others.
Performs extensive final welding operations for long periods of time in awkward positions or at elevated heights.
Uses FCAW/GMAW welding process, with or without backing, in the flat, horizontal and vertical positions, on both steel and stainless‑steel materials.
Welds full‑penetration welds on small‑diameter pipe using the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process.
Uses a scissor lift when needed to access welding work at heights.
With assistance and supervision, may perform more complicated welding and fit‑up using various equipment.
Reads appropriate Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) and is capable of interpreting welding variables and ensures all parameters within the WPS are adhered to.
Monitors quality of work, makes corrective adjustments and reports equipment malfunctions, defective materials or other unusual conditions to Supervisor.
