Overview
Variety of welding processes utilizing mig, tig, robotic, and gas applications. Welds commonly used metals and alloys of various shapes, sizes, thicknesses, etc. Selects welding electrodes for specific welds to ensure penetration and fusion of base and filler metals. Welds metal components together to fabricate or repair products according to blue prints, layouts, or work orders. Welds in vertical, horizontal, and overhead positions. Working knowledge of welding materials and equipment. Employment is contingent upon the results of a pre-employment drug examination.
Classifications:
Entry level welder. Works with close supervision and relies on both blue prints and fixtures to meet any cosmetic specs to Lou-Rich or any internal or external customer requirements. Required to fill out necessary paperwork (i.e. Production Job Records, Non-conformances, Time cards, and Product Identification Tags, In-process Inspection Records and Facility maintenance Records).
More advanced welding includes operating of two types of welding equipment and passing internal leak tests within Lou-Rich testing capacity. These welders should have the ability to setup and weld using fixtures and prints, capacity to understand weld symbols and required to weld a minimum of two types of material. Understand and use documentation of welding procedures and setup sheets.
Certified welders would weld with a variety of equipment, mig, tig or gas. They may also be required to fabricate parts with no fixtures but have access to prints. Required to have the capacity to trouble shoot and operate complex fixtures and weld a large variety of materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, mild steel, galvanized and brass, etc. along with training of other welders.

Lou-Rich Training Requirements:
?? Applicable training will be completed by following the syllabi (Human Resources, Safety, IFS – Timeclock, IFS – Navigation, ISO) for each new hire and that will be verified by the Employee Orientation & Job Qualification form within the first 60 days of employment.
?? Applicable training will be completed by following the Press Room Training Matrix form (F4400-041). Effectiveness of welding training guidelines will be determined by employee knowledge and demonstration of learned concepts. Additional training after the first several weeks of on the job training will be determined by the Supervisor in preparation to operate on their own as needed. Any follow up training will be evaluated and provided at the 60 day review or as deemed necessary for the position.
