Perform code and non-code welding procedures involving complex tubing/component alignments and joint fit-ups. Work includes welding of pressure vessels, tube layouts, and various metals.

ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES:  

Welders are responsible for producing high-quality welds on pressure vessels and assemblies per engineering standards and welding codes.
