WORK EXPERIENCE

Carlton Staffing, 13101 Northwest Freeway #110, TX warehouse specialist/forklift operator, Apr 2015 – Jul 2017 once every box and pallet was matched up with the bill of laden and then confirmed on the computer, it was then relayed to my supervisor and then forklift through the warehouse while obeying the various forklift traffic laws that was established by management the product was then placed in the proper bin for that specific item.

Welder: flux core., Sep 2011 – Apr 2015

Clamp, hold, tack-weld, heat-bend, grind or bolt component parts to obtain required configurations and positions for welding.

Operate safety equipment and use safe work habits. Weld components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions. Operate manual or semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal segments, using processes such as gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, flux-cored arc, plasma arc, shielded metal arc, resistance welding, and submerged arc welding.

Examine workpieces for defects and measure workpieces with straightedges or templates to ensure conformance with specifications.

Monitor the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material.

Analyze engineering drawings, blueprints, specifications, sketches, work orders, and material safety data sheets to plan layout, assembly, and welding operations. ability to perform basic fitting. as a welder i was required to determine from the drawings [blueprints] where each weld is to be performed and meet the size and length requirements for each weld specified within the given tolerance allowed. I was also required to perform any cosmetic or appearance specifications of the welds. This may require grinding welds and sheet metal buffing. B.A.E. Systems, Anniston, AL

Welder/press operator/forklift operator, Oct 2007 – Aug 2011 Remove metal ingots or cores from molds, using hand tools, cranes, and chain hoists. Weld separately or in combination, using aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, and other alloys. Mark or tag material with proper job number, piece marks, and other identifying marks as required. Remove rough spots from workpieces, using portable grinders, hand files, or scrapers. Position and secure workpieces, using hoists, cranes, wire, and banding machines or hand tools. Clean or degrease parts, using wire brushes, portable grinders, or chemical baths. Fill holes, and increase the size of metal parts.

Guide and direct flames or electrodes on or across workpieces to straighten, bend, melt, or build up metal. Cut, contour, and bevel metal plates and structural shapes to dimensions as specified by blueprints, layouts, work orders, and templates, using powered saws, hand shears, or chipping knives. Operate metal shaping, straightening, and bending machines, such as brakes and shears. Operate safety equipment and use safe work habits. Weld components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions. Ignite torches or start power supplies and strike arcs by touching electrodes to metals being welded, completing electrical circuits.

Clamp, hold, tack-weld, heat-bend, grind or bolt component parts to obtain required configurations and positions for welding.

Operate manual or semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal segments, using processes such as gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, flux-cored arc, plasma arc, shielded metal arc, resistance welding, and submerged arc welding.

Monitor the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material.

Recognize, set up, and operate hand and power tools common to the welding trade, such as shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding equipment.

Lay out, position, align, and secure parts and assemblies prior to assembly, using straightedges, combination squares, calipers, and rulers.

Chip or grind off excess weld, slag, or spatter, using hand scrapers or power chippers, portable grinders, or arc-cutting equipment.

Analyze engineering drawings, blueprints, specifications, sketches, work orders, and material safety data sheets to plan layout, assembly, and welding operations. Connect and turn regulator valves to activate and adjust gas flow and pressure so that desired flames are obtained.

Participated in the production of parts heated to 2300 degrees fahrenheit and then forged in three processes, cooled and then stored to be checked at a later time by quality control. After acquiring the skill and knowledge and was deemed an asset, i was then moved to the weld shop where i participated and assisted in the use of plasma cutting torch to straighten as well as flush together two sections of different sized steel to be assembled together by being welded by me or my co-worker.
