Advanced use of temporary attachments.
Advanced understanding of weld joint design (full and partial penetration welds, chamfers, and bevels).
Advanced skill in installation and removal of fasteners and rivets.
Correctly identifies base material types and thicknesses.
Advanced level tack welding in common shipboard positions (overhead, vertical, horizontal).
Intermediate tack welding in uncommon/limited access positions (mirror, confined, heavy interferences).
Expert to advanced understanding of fitting operations (coping, straightening, carbon arcing).
Advanced knowledge of erect and set principles (identification/use of extra material, set to lines, etc.).
Advanced understanding of material fabrication.
Recognizes tooling needs (which tool to use for which application).
Able to solve job issues without need for supervisory approval.
Ability to read fit‑up/alignments measuring devices (rulers, tape, levels, bobs, squares, etc.).
Advanced use of power tools (grinders, reciprocating saws, drills, etc.).
Advanced use of hand tools (hammers, punches, clamps, etc.).
Correct set up of tools prior to use (running lines, drop tests, etc.).
Knowledge of power tool safety (correctly identifying kick direction and pinch points).
Advanced use of positioning equipment (dogs/wedges, rams, saddles).
Advanced knowledge of shipbuilding standards (009-12, W1689).
Advanced knowledge of inspection standards (00).
Adheres to fire safety principles (hot work tickets, positioning, firewatches, 35 rule, etc.).
Ability to instruct others to navigate onboard vessels to find work areas / backsides of work areas.
Advanced knowledge of industry safety standards / training.
Adheres to industry safety standards.
Requires occasional supervision to accomplish work.
Requirements Qualifications
High school diploma or GED and 4 or more years of related experience and/or training or equivalent combination of education and experience.
Ability to gain access to military installations.
Must be able to pass drug test and background check.
Physical Requirements Ability to lift 50 pounds regularly and seek help with weights over 50 pounds; ability to sit and/or stand for long periods of time. While performing the duties of this job the employee is required to stand; walk; sit; use hands to finger, handle, or feel objects, tools or controls; reach with hands and arms; climb stairs/vertical ladders; balance; stoop; kneel; crouch; or crawl; talk or hear; taste or smell. The employee must occasionally lift and/or move up to 50 pounds. Specific vision requirements include close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and the ability to adjust focus. This is a physically demanding position and may accommodate some physical disabilities. Physical dexterity may be required when performing walk‑through and inspection; the walk‑through may necessitate transverse steep stairwells, vertical ladders, and bending or stooping through tight spaces.
Environmental Conditions This position works on the job site. There is exposure to hostile environments, loud noises, hazardous chemicals/fumes, airborne particles, smoke, extreme temperatures, moving mechanical parts, and high precarious places.
During work‑site visits will be required to wear appropriate PPE including but not limited to:
Hard Hat
Ear Plugs or Attenuator
Safety Shoes
Dust Mask or Respirator
Gloves
Criteria for Advancement
Effectiveness of use for temporary attachments
Workmanship in tack welding
Workmanship in fitting operations
Understanding of metal fabrication processes
Ability to solve job issues without need for supervisory guidance or approval
Embodiment of company safety culture
Reliable attendance
Model work ethic
Takes initiative to address issues of materials, equipment, job scope, information, and/or tooling
Key Skills DME, Anatomy Knowledge, Algebra, Fire Sprinkler Fitting, Physiology Knowledge, Tube Bending, OSHA, Fabrication, Pipe Threading, Welding, Geometry, Power Tools
Employment Type Full-Time
