About The Position

The Welder - Level 2 position requires learning and operating 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 role also requires learning system assembly operations and passing certification tests for operations such as fitting assembly, tube bending, leak testing, and TIG welding. The welder must identify and correct problems, make appropriate judgment calls based on experience, and balance attention to detail with production demands. The role involves low-volume orders that may not have a high degree of standard work, while maintaining Swagelok quality standards. Many projects must be built to print within certification assembly program limits, requiring collaboration with engineers and others to define welding and assembly processes while work is in progress.
