  • Ensure all fabricated items are tagged with the correct job number, customer name, and piece number.
  • Complete and inspect all weld passes.
  • Ensure 100% penetration on all pipe welds, including hydro-welds; structural welds must follow drawings unless otherwise specified.
  • Inspect all equipment (welding machine, leads, flux-core box, grinder, etc.) at the start of every shift.
  • Climb and work from heights as required.
  • Other duties as assigned by the superintendent.
Qualifications

  • Demonstrate visible leadership and support proactive safety processes (JSA, Time Out & TEAM BBS Observations) to achieve an incident-free workplace and advance our safety culture.
  • Adhere to all Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) Management System policies, procedures, safe work practices, and client-specific regulatory requirements.
