Overview
The Certified Welder specializing in chiller plant pipe fitting is capable of performing a variety of welding functions in all positions, including structural plate and 6G pipe using SMAW, FCAW, and GTAW processes. The ideal candidate demonstrates a willingness to cross-train and contribute to multi-function structural and piping assembly processes, ensuring the seamless fabrication and assembly of modular chiller plant systems.
Role Description:
The Certified Welder will execute precision welding tasks to fabricate, assemble, install, and maintain piping systems used in large-scale HVAC chiller plants. This position demands a high degree of technical skill, unwavering attention to detail, and adherence to stringent safety and quality standards.
Key Responsibilities:
- Perform welding tasks using techniques such as MIG, TIG, SMAW, and FCAW to construct and repair piping systems in chiller plants.
- Fluent in understanding job-specific WPS (Welding Procedure Specifications) and PQR (Procedure Qualification Records) and capable of setting up the machine to perform in all positions to meet certified testing criteria.
- Analyze blueprints for weld insignia and apply the appropriate welding techniques to assembly components on piping and structural systems.
- Identify, measure, hand dress, cut, and fit metal surfaces for welding according to job-specific requirements.
- Conduct visual observations of pre- and post-welded surfaces and use precision instruments (micrometers, calipers, etc.) to ensure accuracy and compliance with job requirements.
- Technically proficient in interpreting insufficient weld criteria and applying knowledge to efficiently blend and repair welds.
- Collaborate with pipefitters and team members to ensure smooth integration of piping components within HVAC systems.
- Maintain welding tools, equipment, and machinery in optimal working condition to maximize productivity and efficiency.
- Follow safety protocols diligently and consistently wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Monitor the completion of daily work assignments while ensuring quality standards are met and safety and health regulations are adhered to.
Qualifications and Experience:
- Certified Welder (AWS, ASME, or equivalent certification).
- Extensive experience in pipe fitting and welding, especially within industrial or commercial HVAC systems, focusing on chiller plants.
- Proficient in interpreting technical drawings, blueprints, and schematics.
- In-depth understanding of HVAC systems and their piping configurations.
- Capable of working in confined spaces and at heights when required.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to understand and follow detailed instructions.
- Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality work.
Preferred Education and Experience:
- 6+ years of experience in Welding (SMAW, FCAW, and GTAW), or a combination of these welding techniques.
- 2 years of vocational technical training.
