Career Opportunities
Construction welders use specialized tools to generate intense heat, melting metal at precise points, enabling the fusion of separate pieces into a cohesive structure.
A manufacturing welder joins metal pieces through welding or brazing, employing heavy machinery to melt and shape the material into desired forms. Integral to their role is the meticulous review of blueprints before cutting any plates.
Sheet metal workers specialize in fabricating, installing, and maintaining thin sheet metal products. Their tasks include welding thin sheet metals and similar materials, securing metal seams, constructing supportive frameworks, and fastening materials using bolts.
Welding inspectors oversee compliance with safety codes in construction projects involving welding. They meticulously examine welding work to ensure adherence to federal, local, and state regulations, and they also review work plans before construction begins.
A pipe welder is responsible for connecting and fixing pipes while constructing piping assemblies according to precise standards. Utilizing an array of tools, including specialized equipment, they perform their tasks. Their work environment can vary from indoor to outdoor settings, often in confined spaces and adverse weather conditions, depending on project requirements.
