David Trevino Montes

• Determined appropriate filler metal type based on joint design and material being joined together.
• Conducted flux core arc welding when applicable.
• Performed preventative maintenance on welding tools and equipment.
• Monitored the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material.

Performed welding using TIG and stick processes on pipe and structural work.

Proficient in carbon pipe using different varieties of rods ex(80s-Ni1, 70s6,70s2,309

Skilled in handling multiple sizes of 7018 rods.

• Ensured that all welds met code requirements through visual inspection methods such as radiography testing where applicable.

Pipe welding carbon pipes using TIG and flux processes. Different types of schedules and pipe sizes up to 36 inches.

Working at heights and in confined spaces.

Structural welding guides, supports, beams, and arc gouging trunks.

• Communicated effectively with supervisors regarding progress updates on assigned tasks.

• Prepared material surfaces for welding by removing scale, rust or other foreign matter.
• Inspected completed work for conformance with applicable codes and standards.
• Monitored amperage levels during the entire welding process in order to ensure proper heat input into material being joined.
• Pipe welding carbon pipes using the SMAW process.
• Different types of schedules and pipe sizes up to 36 inches
