Summary
I’ve been a welder since 2012. I’ve worked multiple turnarounds with multiple specialty companies as a welder, and I recently moved into a QC position. If I had one word to summarize myself, it would have to be integrity. I would never accept any product that would jeopardize myself or the company I work for. I take more pride in my work & safe practices than most, though I understand I can't ask employees to fix things outside of code. I still try to nudge them in the right direction for welds and flange makeups that go beyond what the client requires as far as quality.
