Original job description

Job Title: Code Welder (TIG / Flux Core)Job DescriptionThis role focuses on the engineering and manufacturing of steam generation and gas turbine cogeneration equipment, with an emphasis on code welding for pressure vessels, piping, boiler systems, and structural steel fabrications. You will layout, fit, and weld from blueprints to build highquality weldments that meet A.S.M.E. boiler codes, established weld procedures, and specific customer requirements.Responsibilities

  • Layout, fit, and weld a variety of weldments, pressure vessels, and piping in accordance with A.S.M.E. boiler codes, internal weld procedures, and customer specifications.
  • Interpret and work from detailed blueprints and drawings to plan weld sequences, fitups, and final assemblies.
  • Perform highquality TIG welding, especially when hired as a level one Code Welder, focusing primarily on TIG processes.
  • As a level two Code Welder, perform a mix of TIG and MIG welding, handling a significant portion of both processes as production needs require.
  • Fabricate and weld structural steel casings customized to surround pressure vessels used in power plant environments.
  • Fit and weld code piping and interconnecting runs that will be assembled and fitted in the field at customer sites.
  • Perform code welding of boiler tubes to pressure parts, ensuring weld integrity and compliance with applicable standards.
  • Use flux core, MIG, TIG, and stick welding processes on materials such as stainless steel and mild steel.
  • Perform pipe welding, including preparation, fitting, and welding of pipe joints to meet 6G test and code requirements.
  • Conduct quality checks on welds, verifying dimensions and tolerances against blueprints and specifications.
  • Maintain safe work practices while handling welding equipment, materials, and structural components.
  • Collaborate with other fabricators, fitters, and production staff to meet project schedules and quality targets.

Essential Skills

  • At least 3 years of experience performing TIG and/or flux core welding in a production or fabrication environment.
  • Ability to pass a 6G weld test, demonstrating strong pipe welding proficiency.
  • Onthejob pipe welding experience, including fitting and welding pipe joints.
  • Proficiency in TIG welding on various materials and configurations.
  • Proficiency in flux core welding for structural and code applications.
  • Experience with MIG welding for fabrication and production work.
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints accurately, including weld symbols and dimensional details.
  • Experience with stick welding for structural and pressure applications.
  • Handson experience welding stainless steel and mild steel components.
  • Strong fitting skills to prepare and align parts, piping, and structural components prior to welding.
  • Understanding of code welding requirements for pressure vessels, piping, and boiler components.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

  • Experience working in a pressurevessel or tank fabrication environment is highly beneficial.
  • Technical school degree or formal training in welding is strongly preferred but not required.
  • Experience TIG welding on pipe is highly desirable.
  • Prior exposure to large manufacturing or heavy fabrication environments.
  • Familiarity with boiler systems, power plant equipment, or oil and gas fabrication projects.
  • Interest in obtaining or maintaining 6G and additional welding certifications.

Why Work Here?The company offers the opportunity to work on complex, highend fabrication projects that support the oil and gas industry, power plants, foundries, and other heavy industrial customers. Team members gain exposure to major boiler systems and advanced pressurevessel work, providing a strong platform to develop and refine code welding skills. The organization supports welders in pursuing advanced qualifications, including 6G and other certifications, and offers substantial overtime opportunities during busy periods, enabling both professional growth and strong earning potential.Work EnvironmentThe role is based in a large manufacturing environment that reflects a typical heavy fabrication shop: somewhat dirty due to the nature of welding and metalwork, but organized for efficient production. You will work around steam generation and gas turbine cogeneration equipment, pressure vessels, piping, and structural steel fabrications, using TIG, MIG, flux core, and stick welding processes on stainless and mild steel. The setting involves standard industrial noise, welding fumes, and the need for appropriate personal protective equipment, including welding helmets, safety glasses, gloves, and protective clothing suitable for a fabrication shop.
