Fabrication and Fitting: Assemble, align, and fit metal parts together using jacks, turnbuckles, pry bars, and cranes to prepare them for welding or assembly. Cutting and Shaping: Use acetylene torches, shears, grinding tools, and press brakes to cut, bevel, or shape metal pieces. Tack Welding: Perform preliminary welding (tack welding) to hold parts in place before final structural welding. Quality Inspection: Verify finished assemblies against blueprints using measuring devices like tape measures and squares to ensure accurate fit-up. Required Skills and Qualifications Technical Proficiency: Ability to read blueprints and understand welding symbols. Tools Knowledge: Experience with oxy-fuel torches, grinders, cranes, and hand-cutting tools. Mathematical Skills: Basic geometry and trigonometry knowledge to calculate layout dimensions. Physical Ability: Strong physical condition for heavy lifting, climbing, and working in tight spaces or at heights. Work Environment Industries: Commonly employed in shipbuilding, structural steel fabrication, heavy machinery manufacturing, and construction. Conditions: Often work indoors in large, noisy workshops, or outdoors on construction sites, potentially requiring travel or long hours. #ZR
