A day in the life
You start your shift by reviewing prints and specs, selecting the right process and tooling for the job. You’ll set up and operate welding, soldering, and brazing equipment, then move seamlessly between flat, vertical, and overhead welds.

When repairs are needed, you’ll dismantle, straighten, reshape, and reassemble parts using cutting torches, straightening presses, and hand tools. You’ll recognize and deploy common tools of the trade—especially for SMAW and GMAW—ensuring each setup meets the job’s metallurgical and geometric requirements. You’ll keep supervisors informed of any equipment issues or questionable materials so quality stays on target.
