About The Position
The Energy Resources Department is excited to offer a hiring bonus for individuals newly hired as a Gas System Welder. New Gas System Welders may be eligible for a $4,200 incentive at the conclusion of Initial City Probation. To receive the bonus, a Gas System Welder must work for one year in the original hire assignment and receive a successful performance evaluation. A Gas System Welder is responsible for welding steel gas lines using electric arc welding equipment; fusing polyethylene (PE) 2406 pipe for the construction, maintenance, and repair of the City's gas utility system; and for assisting in the manual and technical aspects of gas line construction, maintenance, or repair activities. This work requires strict conformance to City of Mesa welding and fusion specifications and procedures, as well as state and federal regulations governing the natural gas industry. An employee in this class must be certified annually in the use of arc welding equipment and PE pipe fusion and must demonstrate competency at any other time as may be required by the City to be retained in this class. Since much of the work of this class is performed on pressurized lines, there is considerable potential for exposure to hazardous conditions. Welding is usually done in a confined space requiring awkward body positioning and may be performed under a variety of adverse weather conditions. Employees in this class must be certified as PE fusers as well as arc and gas welders. This position is also responsible for performing related duties as required. An employee in this class is required to use appropriate safety equipment and follow safety procedures in performing assignments. This class is subject to emergency call-out and must be available for stand-by, as required. Although welds and fusion joints are inspected by a Gas System Inspector, and daily work is overseen and observed by a Gas System Crew Leader, this class is supervised by a Gas System Supervisor. This class is FLSA nonexempt.
