Field Welder

Overview

As a Field Welder, you’ll weld, fabricate, and assemble metal components at construction sites and other field locations. You’ll use technical drawings, measuring instruments, and mechanical knowledge to complete work accurately while following safety protocols. Your impact: Precise, dependable field fabrication helps crews complete installations safely and keeps projects moving.

Key Responsibilities

• Welding and fabrication: Join metal components using processes such as stick welding (SMAW), MIG welding (GMAW), TIG welding (GTAW), and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW).

• Equipment setup: Transport, set up, operate, and maintain welding machines, generators, leads, gas cylinders, and other tools.

• Repairs and maintenance: Repair damaged metal structures, equipment, piping, machinery, and structural components.

• Blueprint interpretation: Read and follow welding symbols, fabrication drawings, measurements, and job specifications.

• Safety compliance: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), follow hot-work procedures, and maintain fire prevention and confined-space safety practices as required.

• Quality control: Inspect welds for defects, ensure proper fit-up, and meet applicable welding codes and project requirements.

• Jobsite coordination: Work with construction crews, pipefitters, ironworkers, mechanics, supervisors, and inspectors.

Requirements

• Proven hands-on experience in field welding, fabrication, and metal repair.

• Strong proficiency in welding processes such as Stick (SMAW), MIG (GMAW), TIG (GTAW), and Flux-Cored (FCAW).

• Demonstrated ability to weld structural steel, piping, and metal components while maintaining high-quality standards.

• Experience reading and interpreting blueprints, welding symbols, and technical drawings.

• Skilled in weld preparation, cutting, grinding, fit-up, and inspection.

• Ability to operate, troubleshoot, and maintain welding machines, generators, and related equipment.

• Solid knowledge of welding procedures, industry standards, and jobsite safety requirements.

• Ability to work independently in the field, troubleshoot problems, and meet project deadlines.

• Physically capable of working outdoors, lifting equipment, and performing welding tasks in various positions and environments.

• Welding certifications and qualifications are preferred or required depending on project specifications.

• Strong attention to detail, reliability, teamwork, and commitment to producing safe, durable, high-quality welds.
