Welding trades

This skilled trade role joins metal parts together using various welding processes to construct or repair products and structures. They are crucial for creating strong, durable bonds in components across numerous industries, from manufacturing and construction to aerospace.

Key responsibilities involve interpreting blueprints and welding specifications, selecting appropriate welding techniques (e.g., Arc, MIG, TIG), and preparing metal surfaces. They operate welding equipment, control heat and material flow, and inspect finished welds for quality and integrity. A core function is understanding metal properties, ensuring precise alignment, and adhering strictly to safety regulations and industry codes to prevent hazards.

They also collaborate closely with fabricators, engineers, and quality control personnel to ensure welds meet structural and functional requirements. Ultimately, they are accountable for the strength, quality, and durability of welded joints, directly contributing to the structural integrity and safety of diverse products and infrastructure.
