This position is being hired by MJ&H, and the contact for questions will be Bryan Sharp: [email protected]. POSITION SUMMARY Responsible for producing sound, code- and specification-compliant welds on fabricated pipe assemblies in a custom fabrication environment. The Pipe Welder works from drawings, weld symbols, job requirements, and applicable Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), coordinating closely with pipe fitters to verify joint preparation and fit-up before welding. Relocation assistance available if moving from out of the area up to $4500. PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES • Perform pipe welding in the processes and positions required by assigned work and applicable WPS requirements. • Review drawings, weld symbols, joint details, and job specifications before beginning work. • Verify joint preparation, bevel condition, root opening, alignment, cleanliness, and fit-up before welding; communicate problems rather than welding over an incorrect fit-up. • Produce consistent root, fill, and cap passes as required while maintaining proper profile, penetration, fusion, and overall weld quality. • Control heat input and welding sequence to help minimize distortion and movement of fabricated assemblies. • Identify visible weld defects or workmanship concerns and correct or report them before the assembly moves to the next operation. • Use welding machines, grinders, torches, hand tools, and related equipment safely and correctly. • Perform weld cleanup and preparation between passes as required by the process, WPS, or job requirements. • Coordinate with fitters, supervision, and Quality personnel when drawings, fit-up, materials, or weld requirements are unclear. • Maintain productive work habits while protecting weld quality and job requirements. EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS • Previous pipe welding experience in an industrial or fabrication environment preferred. • Ability to pass the applicable M J & H Fabrication weld test(s) for the work being performed. • Working knowledge of pipe joint preparation, welding positions, weld sequencing, and common pipe fabrication practices. • Ability to read fabrication drawings, weld symbols, and WPS requirements. • Experience with applicable welding processes used for fabricated pipe work is preferred. • Ability to use common measuring tools and verify basic dimensions and fit-up. • SKILLS & ABILITIES • Strong welding technique and hand-eye coordination. • Ability to recognize improper joint preparation, alignment, contamination, or fit-up before welding. • Ability to follow written procedures and job-specific requirements. • Mechanical aptitude and attention to detail. • Ability to work independently after receiving job instructions and communicate problems promptly SAFETY & QUALITY EXPECTATIONS • Regularly stand, bend, kneel, reach, climb, and work in fabrication positions required to access pipe joints. • Lift and handle tools, leads, consumables, and fabrication materials within safe working limits. • Work around welding arc, sparks, grinding, heat, noise, fumes, and moving fabrication equipment. • Must be able to wear required PPE and safely perform work in a fabrication shop environment. PHYSICAL & WORK ENVIRONMENT • Follow all company safety rules, PPE requirements, hot-work practices, and equipment procedures. • Follow applicable WPS, drawing, and job requirements; do not make unauthorized changes to weld details or procedures. • Protect material identification and traceability where required. • Maintain clean work surfaces and prevent contamination that may affect weld quality. • Report drawing discrepancies, damaged material, poor fit-up, or other conditions that could affect the finished assembly. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Pay is dependent on experience, skills, and qualifications. Insurance benefits are available after successful completion of the probationary period.
