Responsibilities

• Perform welding on stainless steel pipe using processes such as GTAW (TIG).
• Read and interpret isometric drawings, blueprints, and welding procedure specifications (WPS).
• Execute root, fill, and cap passes on piping systems in various positions (2G, 5G, 6G).
• Ensure welds meet applicable codes and standards (e.g., ASME, API).
• Conduct proper fit-up, alignment, and preparation of pipe prior to welding.
• Inspect completed welds for quality, including visual inspection and assisting with NDT processes.
• Maintain welding equipment and ensure proper storage and handling of materials.
• Follow all safety policies, including PPE requirements and hazard identification.
• Work collaboratively with pipefitters, supervisors, and QA/QC personnel.
• Complete required documentation, including weld logs and inspection reports.

Requirements

• Valid welding certifications (e.g., ASME Section IX) preferred.
• Minimum 3–5 years of experience welding stainless steel pipe in oil & gas, petrochemical, or similar industries.
• Proven ability to pass a 6G stainless steel pipe weld test (TIG root/hot pass required).
• Strong knowledge of welding techniques, metallurgy, and heat control for stainless materials.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and specifications.
• High attention to detail and craftsmanship.
• Strong commitment to safety and quality.
• Ability to work independently and in a team environment.
• Physical stamina and ability to work in confined spaces, heights, and varying weather conditions.

Additional Information
