Hard Skills
AdvancedShielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)The process of joining metal using an electric arc between a flux-covered electrode and the base metal.
IntermediateBlueprint Reading and Schematic InterpretationThe ability to interpret technical drawings and welding symbols to execute precise repairs and fabrications.
IntermediatePreventive Equipment MaintenanceConducting regular inspections and minor repairs on welding machines and industrial equipment to prevent failure.
AdvancedWorkplace Safety and OSHA ComplianceStrict adherence to safety regulations regarding personal protective equipment (PPE), fire prevention, and hazardous material handling.
AdvancedGas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG)A high-precision welding process using a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld.
IntermediateMetallurgyKnowledge of metal properties and how different alloys react to heat and stress during the welding process.
IntermediatePrecision Measurement and AlignmentUsing tools like calipers, micrometers, and squares to ensure components are accurately aligned before welding.
