JOB SUMMARY

Under the direction of the Welding Lead, the responsibilities of the Submerged Arc Welder (SAW) position include fitting and joining, fabricating, and repairing metal and other weldable material by applying appropriate welding techniques in accordance with product specifications and production schedules. As a Submerged Arc Welder, you will work in coordination with the Shift Supervisor and other senior management to ensure that the entire customer product is fit and Welded to the specifications of each job and meets the outlined requirements. Consistent production of quality UT passable welds. Maintain production level as determined by the production supervisor. Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) is a joining process that involves the formation of an electric arc between a continuously electrode and the workpiece to be welded. A blanket of powdered flux surrounds and covers the arc and, when molten, provides electrical conduction between the metal to be joined and the electrode. It also generates a protective gas shield and a slag, all of which protects the weld zone.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

High School Diploma or GED required. Incumbent must possess a minimum of 1-2 years' Sub arc welding experience. An equivalent combination of education and experience is acceptable.

QUALIFICATIONS

The ideal incumbent must possess: 1. Knowledge of a variety of welder concepts, practices and procedures. 2.
