Min B. Eng Mechanical Engineering with Welding Engineer as specialisation. Min 6 Years Experience as a Welding EngineerEnsure Develop and qualify welding process procedures, supplier qualifications, and testing protocols to ensure compliance with industry standards and project requirements. Create repair procedures and assess flaws or defects to determine the fitness-for-service of structures and components. Ensure that the welding, heat treatment, hardness testing, inspection and non-destructive testing are in compliance with the relevant codes and specifications.Manage welding operations and troubleshoot issues that arise during welding projects, providing corrective solutions to optimize the welding process. Evaluate and fine-tune processes during welding projects to enhance performance, quality, and productivity. Coordinate with engineering staff as well as liaise with clients on welding requirements.Raise non-compliance reports where applicable and ensure satisfactorily closed.Investigate welding-related issues to improve product performance and increase productivity across manufacturing processes. Assess welding flaws or challenges, developing strategies to resolve issues and ensure long-term structural integrity.Welding Process Selection and Optimization: Determining the appropriate welding methods (e.g., MIG, TIG, or stick welding) and materials for each project to optimize production speed and quality.Material and Consumable Planning: Specifying required materials (metals, gases, consumables) and planning for efficient stock levels to minimize downtime and waste.Fixture and Tooling Design: Collaborating on the design and arrangement of jigs, fixtures, and tooling to ensure weld consistency and quality while maximizing productivity.Weld Sequence and Scheduling: Developing detailed welding sequences and schedules that align with the broader production timeline and reduce the risk of distortion, rework, or bottlenecks.Quality Control and Testing: Establishing quality control measures (such as non-destructive testing) and inspection points within the production plan to ensure that welds meet safety and quality standards.Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS): Creating and reviewing WPSs, which provide detailed guidelines on welding processes, materials, techniques, and parameters for each project.Adaptation to Environmental Conditions: Assessing weather and environmental factors (such as wind, temperature, and humidity) that may affect welding and proposing mitigation strategies to maintain quality (e.g., shielding, portable enclosures).Logistics and Equipment Coordination: Ensure the logistics for moving materials, consumables, and welding equipment to the site are according to standards and operating procedures.Joint Preparation and Fit-Up Plans: Specifying site-based processes for joint preparation, alignment, and fit-up to accommodate field conditions, ensuring that pre-weld setups are consistent and meet quality standards.Inspection and Documentation: Setting up onsite quality checks and documentation processes to verify that field welds meet specifications and track compliance with safety and quality standards.Lead efforts to implement the latest welding technologies and techniques into projects, ensuring cutting-edge solutions are utilized to achieve superior results. Evaluate and integrate new welding equipment, systems, and techniques to improve overall efficiency and output in the manufacturing environment.Provide training to welders on new techniques, processes, or design changes, ensuring continuous skill development and adherence to safety and quality standards. Mentor and guide welding teams in the implementation of innovative welding processes and methods.Estimates for welding should be constructed on the basis of sound judgments and real-world experience.Aim to ensure all tasks to be completed correctly the first time, in the most cost-effective and efficient manner.Mentor and Lead and mentor a team of welding specialists fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Provide technical guidance, training, and professional development to welding staff.Allocate resources effectively to meet project requirements and company goals. Manage and enforce discipline of subordinates in accordance with ER Policy.
