We require an experienced TIG Welder with proven competence in the fabrication and welding of duplex and Inconel-clad carbon steel pipe spools. The successful candidate will support production of high-integrity process piping, working within size ranges from ¾" to 9" OD in accordance with project specifications and applicable welding codes.

As a Technician Welder III, you will be responsible for:

• Executing GTAW (TIG) welding on duplex stainless steels and Inconel-clad carbon steel to specified Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS).
• Fabricating and welding pipe spools (¾"–9" OD) to required tolerances, ensuring alignment, root integrity, and full weld penetration per specification.
• Working to ASME IX and EN ISO 15614/9606 welding qualification standards (or company‑specific equivalents).
• Interpreting isometric drawings, P&IDs, engineering drawings, weld maps and WPS/PQR documentation.
• Conducting weld preparation including joint fit-up, bevel inspection, purge setup, and consumable control.
• Ensuring welds meet all NDE/QA acceptance criteria, including VT, PT, RT, and/or UT where required.
• Maintaining compliance with internal fabrication procedures, safety protocols, and material traceability requirements.
• Collaborating with production supervision, welding inspectors, and QA personnel to ensure schedule adherence and quality compliance.

• Valid and in-date coding qualifications to ASME IX or EN ISO 9606 standards (or willingness/ability to complete new approval testing).
• Strong understanding of heat input control, ferrite control in duplex materials, and handling of nickel alloys.
• Ability to work from and accurately interpret technical drawings, WPS, and fabrication data sheets.
• High level of workmanship and competence in producing welds suitable for stringent inspection and NDE.
• Effective communication skills and ability to work within a team-focused fabrication environment.
