Job Title: TIG Welder

Job Description

We are seeking a skilled TIG welder to perform repair work on gas turbine components. The successful candidate will weld on thin materials, typically ranging from 40 to 60 thousand gauged. The job involves a lot of stainless steel work, but other alloys such as Hastelloy, pneumonic, cobalt, and superalloys will also be used. Due to the thin nature of these materials, controlling the heat will be a crucial part of the job. Additionally, candidates will be responsible for prepping their own work and blending welds using various grinders and sanders. Precision is of utmost importance as the parts are thin and very expensive. The components to be welded include turbine blades, nozzles, combustion parts, blocks, and shrouds.

Requirements

• Perform TIG welding on thin materials (40-60 thousand gauged)

• Work with various alloys including stainless steel, Hastelloy, pneumonic, cobalt, and superalloys

• Control heat during welding to prevent damage to thin materials

• Prep own work and blend welds using a variety of grinders and sanders

• Blend welds by cutting out/grinding the portion that needs repair, filling it back with 100% weld, and smoothing it over

• Ensure precision in welding turbine components such as blades, nozzles, combustion parts, blocks, and shrouds

Essential Skills

• 2+ years of TIG welding experience

• Experience using angle grinders, die grinders, long neck grinders, and belt sanders

• Comfortable prepping own work and grinding, not just welding

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience in the turbine or aerospace industry (a plus)
