MIG/MAG Welder

You weld steel from three to twenty millimetres in MIG and MAG on jigs, following the drawing and the weld symbol given for each joint. The shift starts with a check of the wire, the gas flow and the earth clamp, then tacking, the fill passes and grinding where the seam will be painted. You measure the frame with a tape and a square before it leaves the jig, stamp your own work and report porosity to the welding foreman. Two shifts run 06:00-14:00 and 14:00-22:00 with a weekly rotation.
