• Fabricate new equipment and perform structural buildup, hardfacing, and cladding repairs on worn or damaged industrial components.
• Verify finished fabrications against dimensional tolerances, welding inspection criteria, and quality standards.
• Perform post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) according to thermal process documents and heat charts.
• Collaborate with assemblers, machinists, and service coordinators to troubleshoot equipment wear and carry out fast-track repairs.
• Enter accurate quality data, travel routers, and material heat logs in ERP tracking systems and manual traveler documents.
• Follow safety requirements by using PPE, attending daily safety briefings, inspecting equipment, and exercising Stop Work Authority when risks arise.
