Key Responsibilities Crew Supervision:

Provide hands-on assistance and troubleshooting for welding procedures (MIG, TIG, Stick) to ensure proper penetration and structural integrity.

Conduct regular audits of finished welds to verify adherence to blueprint tolerances and material specification codes.
Workflow Management:
Monitor production schedules and manage the flow of materials to prevent bottlenecks and ensure deadlines are met.
