CERTIFIED TIG & MIG WELDER

Job Purpose

Perform TIG (GTAW) and MIG (GMAW) welding on metal components and assembliesaccording to approved engineering drawings, welding procedures, and qualitystandards. The role requires sound technical skills, accurate joint preparation,consistent weld quality, safe equipment handling, and timely production.

Key Responsibilities

A. Welding and Fabrication ● Perform TIG and MIG welding on sheets, plates, pipes, frames, brackets, andfabricated assemblies. ● Weld mild steel and stainless steel; aluminium welding experience is anadvantage. ● Select appropriate filler materials, shielding gases, and consumables, and setwelding parameters according to approved procedures. ● Carry out tack, fillet, groove, and other specified welds within demonstratedcompetency. ● Ensure correct joint preparation, alignment, fit-up, penetration, and fusion. ● Interpret fabrication drawings, weld symbols, dimensions, joint types, andwelding positions; clarify discrepancies before starting work. ● Follow approved welding procedures and perform repairs only as authorised.

B. Quality and Certification ● Inspect joint preparation and completed welds for cracks, porosity, undercut,excessive spatter, distortion, incomplete fusion, and other defects. ● Correct defects according to approved repair procedures and supportdimensional and quality inspections. ● Maintain required welding, inspection, and consumable records. ● Demonstrate practical proficiency in both TIG and MIG welding and work withinthe limits of applicable qualifications and approved procedures. ● Provide certificates and qualification records for verification. Recognised welderqualifications are preferred; relevant 4G or 5G qualifications are an advantagewhere required by the job. ● Qualifications under applicable standards, such as ISO 9606, ASME, or AWS,will be considered according to the assigned work and project requirements.

C. Equipment, Safety, and Production ● Set up and operate welding machines safely; check torches, cables, regulators,hoses, connections, and gas supplies before use. ● Store and handle cylinders, filler materials, and consumables correctly; performauthorised routine maintenance and report equipment defects or gas leaks. ● Use prescribed PPE, including a suitable welding helmet, gloves, protectiveclothing, safety footwear, and eye protection. ● Follow hot-work, fire-prevention, ventilation, fume-extraction, electrical-safety,and heavy-component handling procedures. ● Keep the workstation clean, remove hazards, and report incidents, near misses,and unsafe conditions immediately. ● Coordinate with fitters, fabricators, helpers, machine operators, and supervisorsto meet schedules while reducing defects, rework, consumable wastage, andcomponent damage.

• ITI in Welder trade preferred; relevant vocational training or equivalent practical experience may be considered.
• Preferably 2–5 years of industrial welding and metal fabrication experience.
• Demonstrated hands-on proficiency in both TIG and MIG welding is mandatory.
• Ability to read fabrication drawings, understand weld symbols, and perform correct joint preparation.
• Knowledge of welding parameters, filler materials, shielding gases, inspection, and common weld defects.
• Relevant recognised welding certifications are preferred and may be mandatory for specific projects.
• Valid 4G or 5G qualifications are an advantage when applicable to the required process, material, and welding position.
