MIG/MAG Welder

You weld steel profile and plate in MIG/MAG on jigs, following the drawing and the weld symbol given for each joint. The shift starts with a check on the wire, the gas flow and the earth clamp, then tacking the assembly, running the fill passes and grinding the seam where it 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 or undercut to the welding foreman. Two shifts run 06:00-14:00 and 14:00-22:00 with a weekly rotation.
