Hard Skills
AdvancedGas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)A semi-automatic or automatic welding process in which a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun.
IntermediateBlueprint Reading and Technical SymbolsThe ability to interpret engineering drawings, dimensions, and weld symbols to ensure fabrication meets design specifications.
AdvancedFlux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)A variation of the arc welding process that uses a continuous wire electrode with a flux core to protect the weld pool.
IntermediateMetallurgy FundamentalsUnderstanding the properties of different metals and how heat treatment affects the chemical and physical behavior of metallic elements.
AdvancedWorkplace Safety and PPE ComplianceStrict adherence to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) standards, including the correct use of respirators, welding helmets, and fire-resistant clothing.
AdvancedGas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW/TIG)A welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld, often used for thin sections of stainless steel and non-ferrous metals.
IntermediateQuality Control and Weld InspectionThe process of checking welds for defects such as porosity, undercut, or slag inclusion using visual or non-destructive testing (NDT) methods.
IntermediateTroubleshooting and Machine MaintenanceIdentifying mechanical or electrical issues in welding power sources, wire feeders, and torches and performing basic preventative maintenance.
