Previous pipe welding experience in an industrial or fabrication environment preferred.
Ability to pass the applicable M J & H Fabrication weld test(s) for the work being performed.
Working knowledge of pipe joint preparation, welding positions, weld sequencing, and common pipe fabrication practices.
Ability to read fabrication drawings, weld symbols, and WPS requirements.
Experience with applicable welding processes used for fabricated pipe work is preferred.
Ability to use common measuring tools and verify basic dimensions and fit-up.
Strong welding technique and hand-eye coordination.

Follow applicable WPS, drawing, and job requirements; do not make unauthorized changes to weld details or procedures.
Protect material identification and traceability where required.
Maintain clean work surfaces and prevent contamination that may affect weld quality.
Report drawing discrepancies, damaged material, poor fit-up, or other conditions that could affect the finished assembly.
