IPAF: 3a 3b / CSCS CARD / Emergency first aid at work

I am a hard working individual, who revels in daily challenges and the satisfaction of a job

well done. I enjoy problem solving and meticulous work. I always strive to learn new skills

and gain additional qualifications in every position I hold, to ensure I stay up to date on the

latest Fabrication and Welding procedures and techniques. I am also career driven, punctual

and reliable.

Employment

Coded nuclear welder - For weir valves march 2014 to present

Welding undertaken and skills gained

Welding inconnel 625, monel, stellite 6, stellite 21, stellite 1, hard facing materials, working

from cad drawings, operating hot wire Tig machine on over lay disk work for the valves made

at weir, hard face welding techniques on different materials,Throughout my time at weir I have

gained a qualification called weir harm to work safely,

Duties include:

Welding nuclear parts to a very high standard for the valves made at weir,

I would follow instructions on the weld procedures for the jobs, pre heat if needed, and once

finished Tig welding the overlay hard facing onto the base material it would either get post

weld heat treatment in the oven, or the part would be put in vermiculite to cool down slowly

depending on customer specification,

Sometimes when valve castings have not passed on x-ray or any customer requirements due

to certain defects I would then grind out any defect and then die pen and re fill and weld base

material

When valves arrive after part built i would then weld the cuff pieces on using Tig root and MMA

fill and cap working from a weld procedure.

Book job times etc using sapp, Book in and out welding consumables and report when running

low making sure we keep them in a heated sealed welding cabinet, Daily risk assessment to

be filled in and to keep area tidy to stay in line with safety procedures.

Tig overlay stellite Asmi coding

Pipe Fitter/ coded Welder for Richard Alan Engineering / based on Nufarm chemical site

2011 to 2014

Welding undertaken and Skills gained

Pipe fitting, Erecting Steel Work, Restricted Positional Welding, Working to Cad Drawings,

Health And Safety, Quality Control. Welding used Tig – Mig – Flux Core – Oxy Acetylene –

Brazing – Stick

Duties include:

Measuring new pipe work to run from one vessel to the pumps. Weld damaged Vessels, if pipe

work is corroded/too thin, I would remake and fit new ones. I would Stick weld the tanks as

they require a good size of welds due to heavy pipe work coming off them.

Offsite positional TIG welding on pipe bridges using scaffold, which can be very challenging.

Repair steel work that has failed a quality check using; MIG, Stick or Flux Core

Fabrication such as making any brackets needed to support the pipe work, making walkways

over pipes and fitting it to ensure successful execution of the job.

Roof modification on site, fitting different vessels and steel work on the way.

Coded Welder /Pipe Fitter for Pleatward Engineering 2010-2011

Welding undertaken and Skills gained

Pipe Fitting, Erecting Steel Work, Health and Safety and Quality control. Welding used Tig –

Mig – Flux Core – Oxy Acetylene – Brazing – Stick. Pleatward Qualifications: Tig welding -

Lloyd’s test, 6g welding code stainless steel, 60 mm OD 45 incline - Lloyd’s test, 6g welding

code mild steel, 60 mm OD 45 incline - CSCS Card

Duties Included:

Started as a welder and was introduced to Pipe Fitting in 2010. I gained experience on how to

measure and fit pipe work on site based jobs. I was welding steel work for new building in the

factory and also one off fabrications for the oil and gas that were internationally exported.

I was also helping out welding 40 big skids for a portable PowerStation for an Em Power job

to be sent to Africa, using flux core, MIG stick and TIG welding all the pipe work ranged from

2’’ to 10’’ I had to get coded to weld them with Lloyds at 6g mild steel and stainless steel. I

made the Skids to CAD drawing specifications. The tolerances were low for each pipe to fit.

I also helped out on big projects at the Rohn Hass in Heckmondwike during site shut down. I

was working for Pleatward, alongside Amec. I have worked on various other sites such as

Rohn Hass, Fred Lawtens, Brenntag, Victrex and Albion colours.
