Skills and Experience

• Minimum of 2–4 years’ experience in welding or metal fabrication (preferably in a manufacturing setting)
  
• Prior experience in stove manufacturing, sheet metal work, or similar industries is an added advantage.
  
• Proven hands-on experience with MIG, TIG, and ARC welding in a manufacturing or fabrication environment
  
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, blueprints, and welding symbols accurately
  
• Strong understanding of welding techniques, metallurgy, and material properties (especially mild steel and stainless steel)
  
• Experience with jigs, fixtures, and gauges.
  

Top Ring Welding

• Perform top ring welding in accordance with approved drawings and specifications, ensuring proper alignment, dimensional accuracy, defined weld patterns, minimal distortion, and required post-weld finishing.
  

Metal Frame Welding

• Weld institutional stove metal frames as per design drawings, ensuring squareness, flatness, structural integrity, proper joint preparation, and consistent weld quality.
  

Automation & Machine support

• Demonstrate a strong willingness to learn and support automated welding processes by assisting in machine commissioning, set up trials, and troubleshooting during ramp-up and production.
  
• Collaborate with engineering and maintenance teams to optimize welding parameters, fixtures, cycle times and ensure stable output, including changeovers and basic adjustments.
  

Tools, Equipment, Materials and Team Support

• Operate MIG, ARC or TIG welding equipment as applicable, using jigs, fxtures and gauges to ensure dimensional accuracy while handling raw materials and finished components carefully to prevent damage
  
• Support training of casual team members, assist in the development and improvement of jigs and fixtures and supervise the team as required to ensure safe and efficient operations.
  

Operations & Performance

• Coordinate with production, quality and engineering teams to address issues and report design, fit up or process concerns. Ensure dimensional accuracy, zero or minimal rework due to welding defects and timely completion of work in line with the production schedule.
  

Safety and compliance

• Operate MIG, ARC or TIG welding equipment using approved procedures, fixtures, gauges and required PPE, while adhering to shop floor safety rules, welding safety standards, and electrical and fire safety requirements. Maintain a clean, organized work area and handle materials and components carefully to prevent damage.
