I ran and operated a welding machine operated by a robot that produced and manufactured John Deere Zero Turn lawn mowers.

• Inspected welds and checked critical measurements to meet specifications.
• Removed and repaired unacceptable welds with air arc and grinder to meet quality guidelines.
• Chipped off excess weld, slag, and spatter using hand tools.
• Operated hoists, cranes, and power tools to dismantle equipment to find and remove defective parts.
• Fabricated shop parts directly from blueprints.
• Prepared welding equipment to perform advanced welding work.
• Set up and operated shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding equipment.
• Clamped, held, tack-welded, heat-bent and bolted component parts to achieve required configurations and positions.
• Welded in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions.
• Bolted, clamped and tack-welded parts to secure components prior to welding.
• Maintained safety by wearing protective equipment, staying alert and following procedures.
• Inspected welds for accuracy and conformance to specifications.
• Inspected parts and components for defects in soldering process.
• Replaced faulty parts and components in soldering process.
• Welded various connections with high-quality final results.
• Cleaned material surfaces to remove dirt or excess acid using chemical solutions, wire brushes and grinders.
• Chipped away debris and thick crusts of rust, slag, and other materials to ready surfaces for welding.

Ran and operated machinery such as ( slab saws, core drills, hand saws, etc.) to perform necessary task. Cutting concrete and asphalt, core drilling holes for plumbing etc.

• Loaded raw materials into machines and unloaded finished products to keep manufacturing process running smoothly.
• Managed and monitored processes and machine systems by observing readings on control boards.
• Quickly shut down equipment in emergency situations following protocols.
• Followed detailed instructions to operate machines with accuracy and produce quality products.
• Set up and adjusted equipment and properly configured machines for daily operation.
• Calibrated, tested, and adjusted machine settings or controls in preparation for production operations.
• Set up and ran machinery to produce exceptional products for industrial needs.
• Monitored machines during operation to detect sounds of malfunction or excessive vibration and adjusted machines to eliminate problems.
• Complied with company and OSHA safety rules and regulations.

I received certifications for shield arc welding, mig welding, and tig welding
