MIG/TIG Welder

Job Description

Job Overview

John Boos & Co., a trusted provider of high-quality, performance driven equipment and workspaces that have inspired home cooks, chefs and foodservice industry workers for generations, is accepting applications for a MIG/TIG Welder in Effingham, IL.


Summary

MIG and TIG welders use metal inert gas (MIG) or tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding to fuse metal parts together and operate tools such as arc welders, grinders, and buffing machines. They are also responsible for selecting and installing torch tips, filler rods, and flux according to the thickness of metal materials.


Responsibilities

  • Welding: This is the core skill that all TIG welders must have. They should be knowledgeable about equipment, processes, materials, proper gases and should have a practical proficiency in welding thin 20 gauge stainless steel. At the point of interviewing a candidate, a 20 gauge weld test is required to pass for the position.

  • Reading Blueprints and Schematics: Welders act with minimal supervision and rely on blueprints and schematics for instructions, so it’s imperative for them to interpret these accurately.

  • Math Skills: Welders should be comfortable with numbers, especially as they calculate dimensions based on blueprints and take measurements of materials.

  • Hand-Eye Coordination: Welding is a heavily physical process that requires stamina and perfect hand-eye coordination, since timing, amount of heat, and other variables must be exact in order to yield a usable product.

  • Troubleshooting: Welders have a keen eye for details when inspecting products. They spot errors quickly, then analyze them to deduce the root cause and formulate an efficient solution.

    • Measurement tools (such as tape measures, calipers, or clamps)
