• I fitted and added on to the spools for faster process when it got to job site. For the welding process I used tig and stick. (7018)
• Troubleshot technical issues during the welding process, minimizing downtime on projects.

• I fitted piping for compressors in different degrees and angles.
• Prepared welding equipment to perform advanced welding work.

• I fitted and welded heat exchangers and welded vessels by demonstrating versatility in various welding methods including MIG, TIG, and Flux Core Welding techniques.

• Provide leadership, direction, and training for employees in assigned work centers, anticipate, analyze, and diagnose production problems to coordinate corrective actions, maintain conformance with company work rules and policies and deliver discipline when necessary.

• Fit/weld according to drawing specifications, interpret blueprints, sketches, and diagrams, set up and perform welding operations.

Cut, contoured, and beveled metal and structural shapes to achieve accurate dimensions.

Welded fabrication materials, continuously checking for safety and quality.

Assembled and installed a variety of metal pipes and fittings for stainless and zirconium projects.

Cleaned and inspected parts and assemblies at each production stage, prepared workpiece, by cutting, grinding, or bending to verify snug fit. Inspected grooves, angles, and gap allowances,

with micrometer, caliper, and precision measuring instruments. Monitored burning, fitting, and welding processes to avoid overheating parts, warping, shrinking, distortion, and expansion of the body frame.

• Cleaned and inspected parts and pipes at each production stage. Cut and beveled pipe and structural shapes to achieve accurate dimensions. Adjusted welding machines to correct settings for precision and waste reduction. Completed skilled welds on pressure-tested pipe.

I fitted and welded heat exchangers, heater coils, reflux coils, fire tubes, piping spools, using different processes of welding.

LEAD WELDER After working with the company for a year my manager offered me the position of lead, with 20 years of experience as a fitter/welder and building this entire product for years I know how long the jobs will take from cleaning the parts to the finished product. I was able to help and train new people. I follow the schedule to move people around, depending on my abilities in order to finish the job on time. Worked at the new Exxon petrochemical plant in Gregory, TX. Had been working in shops for 20 years and this was something new for me. Dealt with a lot of safety problems and sometimes had to wait for hours on work permits.

I fitted and welded heat exchangers, heater coils, reflux coils, fire tubes, piping spools, using different processes of welding, operated manual, and semi-automatic welding equipment. Available to work extended hours, responded to service calls quickly and professionally.
