I’ve been a manufacturing for about 25 years. In those 25 years. I’ve been a fitter/welder, lead man and supervisor.
Worked for 5 star fab as a contractor. We repaired trailers. Roll off dumpster, low and high side trailers. We also repaired and moved axle backwards. Welding applications was mig, stick and flux core.
Welded up pipe using mig, flux core and tig. Most weld done in a pinwheel. I did have some position welds. Those were done with tig weld. Double check length before and after welds were completed.
I worked in large pole as a fitter. My job required me to double check my parts and pole for proper length. Job was to check Fittings and flanges before fitting up pole to the specs on print.
Worked in the burner group as a fitter/welder. I also built burners, flares and incinerators. Welded on carbon and stainless metals. I spent time as a lead man in the burner group.
