About The Position

C23 Welder Working at our Cincinnati Aviation Component Service Center: Our ACSC facility develops and conducts a wide array of engine component repairs – including rotating parts, complex assemblies and nozzles on 29 different engine models. Role Overview: Perform layout, set-up, and weld on a variety of aircraft engine component parts and assemblies. Working from planning or written instructions, prints or sketches. Fabricate, repair or rework using all required welding and cutting processes which may include manual arc processes (GTAW, GMAW, SMAW, TIG) semi-automated weld processes (GTAW, PAW, LW, EBW,), machine weld processes (RSW, Dabber,) and oxyacetylene welding. In addition, may use oxyacetylene cutting, plasma cutting, flame brazing/soldering, TIG brazing and arc brazing. Use argon chambers and gas back-ups. Fabricate heat sinks and related items to perform individual weld operations. Using file, bench grinders, hand grinders, etc., to perform welding preparation, defect removal and manual dimensional restoration. Achieve certification on required processes. Ability to bench, planish, peen, roll, forge, stretch/shrink to restore dimensional and structural integrity on various engine hardware. Use all types of measuring instruments. Perform fluorescent dye penetrant as required, maintain associated paperwork, work to required levels of quality and efficiency. Direct or train others and perform related duties as required.
