Fast learner that can and has been trusted at every company I have worked at. I have never been fired or had that even threatened. I'm young and still learning so you will be getting someone who will quickly pick up on how you want things done and has a track record of staying with companies and not bouncing around.

We mainly ran MIG, stick, and flux cored in all positions the application was able to. Stick was mainly 7018 and 6010 5p while I occasionally ran hard facing rods, 5.0mm and 4.0mm arc 80m pipeliners, 3/16" and 5/32" 7024 jet weld, 10018 and 12018 both 1/8" and 5/32".
We mainly used Oxy Acetylene torches to cut any metal we need. We would sometimes use chop saws or a band saw
Year 1 I was just a helper and welded on small projects to learn
Year 2 I started welding on bigger projects like water trucks, heavy machinery, and building head ache racks. About half way through year 2 I became a shop welder
Year 3 I started getting my own projects like replacing cutting edges, shanks, bushings, etc. By the end of year 3 I was a field welder with a company truck.
Year 4 I have spent about half my time welding out in the field on heavy machinery, casing pipe, and modifications/additions to our quarry operation
I also am in charge of inventory of all welding equipment from PPE to MIG tips and nozzles, to rods and wires, to bottles
I was able to learn how to get jobs done in non-ideal situations and make the situations ideal while maintaining safe practices
We would have projects requiring blue prints come in every couple weeks that would require me to read the prints
Zero reportable injuries through 4 years
