Rig WelderKoch Industries, Inc. – Willmar, MN,
Bolted, clamped and tack-welded parts to secure components prior to welding.
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.
Detected faulty operation of equipment and defective materials and promptly resolved issues.
Removed and repaired unacceptable welds with air arc and grinder to meet quality guidelines.
Repaired manufactured products by dismantling, straitening, reshaping and reassembling parts.
Blew out machines, checked welding leads and wiring and changed filters for preventive maintenance.
Effectively managed repair and maintenance scheduled to increase shop organization and equipment longevity.
Interpreted verbal and written instructions from work orders and welding blueprints.
Fabricated shop parts directly from blueprints.
Salvaged and rebuilt parts to achieve cost savings and reduce waste.
