Description Read and interpret complex engineering blueprints, P&IDs, and isometric drawings to accurately layout, cut, form, and fit components for food-grade processing vessels. Perform continuous, full-penetration GTAW (TIG) and GMAW (MIG) welding on 304 and 316L stainless steel sheet metal, plate, pipe, and sanitary tube.

Must be able to pass an ASME weld test in GTAW and GMAW. Smooth seams, edges, and surfaces to meet clean, high-grade aesthetic and structural finishes. Strong mathematical skills for calculating custom dimensions, head layout, and complex cylinder layouts. Measure finished components with tape measures, levels, and gauges to verify accuracy against design tolerances.

Ensure all fabricated vessels strictly adhere to industry safety and hygienic design requirements such as 3-A Standards, FDA regulations, and ASME BPE guidelines. Assist with hydrostatic, pneumatic, or dye penetrant testing to verify vessel sealing and structural integrity before finishing. Follow workplace safety standards, wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and keep the work area clean.
