Correcting fabrication or weld defects where necessary. Taking responsibility for jobs from preparation through to completed product. Maintaining appropriate job and material records. Working in accordance with established quality and safety procedures.
What You'll Need: Previous practical welding and fabrication experience. Strong MIG welding capability. Experience reading engineering drawings. Experience fabricating sheet and/or section material. Competence using standard fabrication tools and workshop equipment. Experience measuring and checking completed fabricated work.
