Welder - Level 2

Swagelok•Solon, OH

About The Position

The Welder / Fabricator Level 2 learns and operates multiple types of welding and testing equipment, including TIG welding equipment, welding power supplies, leak detection equipment, borescopes, buffing and grinding equipment, and inspection gauges. The position also involves learning system assembly operations and passing certification tests for operations such as fitting assembly, tube bending, leak testing, and TIG welding. The role requires identifying and correcting problems, making appropriate judgments based on experience, and balancing attention to detail with production demands. The welder works on low-volume orders that may lack a high degree of standard work while maintaining Swagelok quality standards. Projects must often be made to print within certification program limits, requiring collaboration with engineers and others to establish welding and assembly processes as work progresses.
