Welder, Foreman

Williamson General Contractors - Reno, Nevada

Planned and laid out work from sketches, drawings, specifications and work orders. Maneuvered, installed and anchored completed units into proper positions. Operated hand and power tools and heavy machinery safely. Developed and laid out patterns that used materials most efficiently. Drilled and punched holes in metal for screws, bolts, and rivets quickly and efficiently. Planned and coordinated tasks and determined correct amount of material required to complete assignments. Removed burrs, sharp edges, rust and scale from work pieces to prevent malfunction. Promoted shop safety by working in a safe manner.

Employed wide variety of hand and power tools including hoists, drills, precision measuring instruments and electronic testing devices.

Communicated operational issues and changes to supervisor on regular basis. Accurately read, understood, and carried out written instructions. Bolted, clamped and tack-welded parts to secure components prior to welding. Blew out machines, checked welding leads and wiring and changed filters for preventative maintenance. Assembled structural forms such as boiler parts and pressure vessels. Clamped, held, tack-welded, heat-bent, ground and bolted component parts to achieve required configurations and positions.

Fabricated shop parts directly from blueprints.

Salvaged and rebuilt parts whenever possible.

Removed rough spots from work pieces with portable grinders, hand files and scrapers. Observed hydrostatic and dimension tolerance tests to evaluate weld quality and conformance to specifications. Interpreted verbal and written instructions from work orders and welding blue prints. Set up and operated hand and power tools, including shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding equipment. Skilled with gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, flux-cored arc, plasma arc, shielded metal arc, resistance welding and submerged arc welding.

Welder, Millwright

Casey Industrial - Cleaburn, Texas/ Reno, Nevada

Assembled structural forms such as boiler parts and pressure vessels. Observed hydrostatic and dimension tolerance tests to evaluate weld quality and conformance to specifications. Removed rough spots from work pieces with portable grinders, hand files and scrapers. Clamped, held, tack-welded, heat-bent, ground and bolted component parts to achieve required configurations and positions.

Detected faulty operation of equipment and defective materials and promptly resolved issues. Operated hoists, cranes and power tools to dismantle equipment to find and remove defective parts. Fabricated shop parts directly from blueprints.

Bolted, clamped and tack-welded parts to secure components prior to welding. Repaired manufactured products by dismantling, straitening, reshaping and reassembling parts. Salvaged and rebuilt parts whenever possible.

Interpreted verbal and written instructions from work orders and welding blue prints. Used MIG gun arc to melt and deposit metal from electrode to workpieces. Maintained correct length of arc and speed of movement to form specified depth of fusion and bead. Welded in flat, horizontal, vertical and overhead positions. Removed and repaired unacceptable welds with an air arc and grinder to meet quality guidelines. Chipped off excess weld, slag, and spatter using hand tools. Inspected welds and checked that critical measurements met specifications upon completion. Examined the structure and texture of parts to detect imperfections. 06/2014 - 11/2014
