Torishima Group , we combine world-class expertise with local innovation, supporting some of the most demanding sectors in the UK and beyond.
We are expanding our talented team and are looking for a Clad Welder to join us at our Coatbridge Location . This is your opportunity to play a key role in our growth and contribute to our reputation for precision, reliability, and excellence.
We are seeking an experienced and skilled Clad Welder to join our team.
The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in welding components for the Oil & Gas sector, specialising in automated GTAW cladding/overlay techniques, specifically with Inconel 625.
You will be responsible for setting up, operating, and monitoring automated welding systems to apply high-integrity corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) overlays to critical components.
What You Will Be Doing
- Automated
Cladding: Set up, calibrate, and operate Auto GTAW (TIG) cladding/overlay equipment to deposit Inconel 625 on various Oil & Gas components (e. g., valves, flanges, risers, manifolds, bore interiors).
- Equipment Operation: Efficiently operate and program Fronius series automated welding systems (or equivalent advanced GTAW cladding rigs/controllers).
- Quality & Compliance: Ensure all weld overlays meet strict industry standards (e. g., API, ASME IX, NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156) and customer-specific non-destructive testing (NDT) criteria (UT, PT, visual inspection).
- Pre- & Post-Weld
Preparation: Perform proper joint/surface preparation, pre-heating, interpass temperature control, and post-weld thermal monitoring as specified by Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS).
- Process
Monitoring: Monitor welding parameters (current, voltage, travel speed, wire feed rate, shielding gas flow) throughout the cladding process to prevent defect formation (e. g., porosity, lack of fusion, cracking, excessive dilution).
- Documentation & Maintenance: Maintain clear daily weld logs, material traceability records, and conduct basic routine maintenance and troubleshooting on welding equipment and torches.
What We Are Looking For
- Proven experience as a Clad Welder within the Oil & Gas industry.
- Demonstrable expertise in Auto GTAW (Hot Wire TIG / Cold Wire TIG) overlay processes.
- Hands-on experience working specifically with Inconel 625 (ERNi Cr Mo-3) filler metal and CRA overlays.
- Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, weld symbols, and WPS / PQR documents.
- Solid understanding of metallurgy related to nickel-based alloys and carbon/low-alloy steel substrates.
• Certifications
- Welder qualifications/certifications according to ASME Section IX or ISO 9606-4 / ISO 14732 for automated GTAW cladding (preferred/required).
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to high-quality standards.
- Ability to troubleshoot automated welding equipment parameters on the fly.
- Awareness of safety protocols when working with heavy Oil & Gas components and pre-heating equipment.
