  • Use hand-welding, flame-cutting, hand-soldering, or brazing equipment to weld or join metal components or to fill holes, indentations, or seams of fabricated metal products.

  • Weld components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions.
  • Weld separately or in combination, using aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, and other alloys.
  • Operate metal shaping, straightening, and bending machines, such as brakes and shears.
  • Operate safety equipment and use safe work habits.
  • Analyze engineering drawings, blueprints, specifications, sketches, work orders, and material safety data sheets to plan layout, assembly, and operations.
  • Chip or grind off excess weld, slag, or spatter, using hand scrapers or power chippers, portable grinders, or arc-cutting equipment.
  • Detect faulty operation of equipment or defective materials and notify supervisors.
  • Determine required equipment and welding methods, applying knowledge of metallurgy, geometry, and welding techniques.
  • Develop templates and models for welding projects, using mathematical calculations based on blueprint information.
  • Ignite torches or start power supplies and strike arcs by touching electrodes to metals being welded, completing electrical circuits.
  • Monitor the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material.
  • Position and secure workpieces, using hoists, cranes, wire, and banding machines or hand tools.
  • Preheat workpieces prior to welding or bending, using torches or heating furnaces.
  • Prepare all material surfaces to be welded, ensuring that there is no loose or thick scale, slag, rust, moisture, grease, or other foreign matter.
  • Recognize, set up, and operate hand and power tools common to the welding trade, such as shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding equipment.
  • Select and install torches, torch tips, filler rods, and flux, according to welding chart specifications or types and thicknesses of metals.

  • Operate welding equipment.
  • Operate firefighting equipment.
  • Operate grinding equipment.
  • Operate metal or plastic forming equipment.
  • Determine metal or plastic production methods.
  • Melt metal, plastic, or other materials to prepare for production.
  • Monitor equipment operation to ensure that products are not flawed.
  • Review blueprints or other instructions to determine operational methods or sequences.
  • Watch operating equipment to detect malfunctions.
