Job description

• Apply principles, theories and concepts to welding and fabrication execution, leading project fabrication efforts by translating design intent into qualified, repeatable welding processes for large pressure vessels and structural assemblies. • Assist in leading fabrication efforts involving complex or critical welds with internal teams and external customers including weld qualification and risk mitigation. • Provide advanced technical expertise and procedural oversight for welding and fabrication tasks, ensuring execution of critical project requirements and compliance with industry codes. • Assist in the skill development of technical staff through hands-on training, practical demonstrations, and process improvement recommendations on assigned projects. • Work to maintain and improve welding procedures in accordance with AWS and ASME standards, addressing project-specific applications with attention to quality and repeatability. • Work to ensure proper welding and fabrication processes are followed through site inspections and procedure evaluations. • Assist in the support the design and application of weld procedures to optimize for prescribed project needs. • Support collaboration between team members and support the implementation of existing training programs for welders, ensuring adherence to best practices. • Assist with the development, qualification, and maintenance of welding procedures supporting specific project needs, making recommendations for process adjustments based on observed performance. • Assist in the preparation and technical review of fabrication project proposals, ensuring feasibility and compliance with relevant standards. • Conduct on-the-job training for team members and provide targeted instruction when gaps in procedural knowledge are observed. • Requires a Bachelors degree in Welding Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering or related Engineering degree. • Current Certified Welding Inspector Certification or must obtain AWS CWI Certification within first 3 years of employment. • Shift work required. • 0-5 years: Demonstrated ability in the development, qualification, interpretation, and application of welding procedures in accordance with AWS, ASME, and customer-specific codes and standards. Hands-on experience across multiple welding processes and materials. • 0-5 years: Ability to exercise independent technical judgment in weld process selection, acceptance criteria interpretation, and resolution of non-conformances. • 0-5 years: Capability to train, mentor, and technically evaluate welders, serving as a subject matter expert rather than line supervision. Proficiency in inspection planning, CWI-level evaluation, and objective quality evidence generation, ensuring traceability and audit readiness. • Must pass a Jaeger 1 vision test and Ishihara color test to obtain Welding Inspector Certification per the American Welding Society specifications. • A valid/clear driver's license is required. Considerations: Applicant selected will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. Applicant must be a U.S. citizen.
