MIG/MAG Welder

You weld steel plate and profile from 3 to 15 mm on a jig, following the drawing and the weld symbol given for each joint. The day begins with checking 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 any porosity to the welding foreman. Two shifts run 06:00-14:00 and 14:00-22:00 with a weekly rotation, and the afternoon shift carries a supplement paid on top.
