Pipe Welder Fabricator

Victaulic•Atlanta, GA

About The Position

The Pipe Welder Fabricator executes defined manufacturing processes to produce conforming parts while meeting safety, quality, and production expectations. The position follows standard work, documented work instructions, and inspection plans; verifies parts at the point of use; maintains safe work conditions and proper PPE use; records production, scrap, and downtime data in required systems; escalates concerns; and keeps the work area organized and clean. The role includes attendance and reliability expectations, adherence to Victaulic’s Code of Conduct and safety policies, meeting production targets, recording output in Mendix, and following known cycle times. Employees may stop work for safety or quality concerns and are expected to escalate issues. Skill progression is organized into Welder / Fabricator Levels 1–3 and a Lead role. Level 1 requires qualification in one role. Level 2 requires all Level 1 requirements plus qualification at Level 2 in two roles. Level 3 requires all Level 2 requirements plus qualification at Level 3 in at least three roles. Leads meet Level 3 requirements and provide production-floor support, assist with safety and FEM initiatives, help with production balancing and supervisor activities, train and guide welders, track training and reinforcement, and report weekly employee touchpoints and observations to supervisors. Performance and progression are determined through a combination of operational system data and leadership validation. Mendix data supports evaluation of productivity, attainment, and system usage; Supervisor, Lead, and Trainer feedback validates safe operation, quality, skill application, and readiness during normal production. No single data source determines outcomes.
