Welder

As a Welder in our Thermal Transfer Division, your day starts with clocking in on time and getting set up at your station. You’ll be working hands-on with carbon steel and stainless steel components, using MIG and flux-core welding techniques to build high-quality products.
You’ll be expected to:
Perform welds that meet strict quality standards—especially vertical welds using FCAW and GMAW.
Pass two weld tests before starting:
FCAW 3G vertical up (open root)
GMAW 3G vertical down (open root)
Read blueprints and follow detailed work instructions to complete each job.
Use tools like grinders, calipers, and tape measures to prep and verify your work.
Fill out weld IDs, job travelers, and dimensional checks as part of your workflow.
Keep your area clean and organized, and return tools at the end of your shift.
Operate shop equipment like forklifts, jib cranes, and overhead cranes.
Jump in to help with other tasks or roles when needed—flexibility is key.
The Work Environment
You’ll be on the production floor, which can get hot or cold depending on the season. You’ll be on your feet most of the day—lifting, bending, and welding. Safety gear like steel-toe boots, hearing protection, and safety glasses are required at all times.
Information for recruiters on test:
FCAW 3G CS Open Root Vertical Up
FCAW = Flux-Cored Arc Welding
A wire-fed welding process that uses flux inside the wire to shield the weld. It’s great for thick materials and outdoor work.
3G = Vertical Position
You’re welding a plate that’s standing upright, and you weld upward (against gravity). This is harder than flat welding because you have to control the weld pool carefully.
CS = Carbon Steel
The material you’re welding is carbon steel.
Open Root =
The joint has a gap at the root (bottom of the weld), and you need to fully penetrate the weld from the root up—no backing strip or material to help you.
Why it matters: This test checks your ability to make strong, clean welds on vertical joints using FCAW, which is common in structural and industrial welding.
GMAW 3G CS Open Root Vertical Down
GMAW = Gas Metal Arc Welding (also called MIG welding)
Uses a wire and shielding gas to protect the weld.
3G = Vertical Position
Again, you’re welding a vertical plate—but this time you weld downward (with gravity).
CS = Carbon Steel
Open Root =
Same as above—you need full penetration from the root of the joint.
Why it matters: This test checks your skill with MIG welding in a vertical-down position, which is faster but requires good control to avoid defects.
In Simple Terms
These tests are like a skills check to prove you can:
Weld carbon steel in vertical positions
Use two different welding methods (FCAW and MIG)
Handle open root joints, which require precision and penetration
