Layout Fitter/Welder

Layout Fitter-Welder will be a single classification that applies to all welders in vessel fabrication (including touch-up), vessel reglassing, and jacket weld. Within the overall classification there will be three skill groupings, or hierarchies of skills, one for each major work center. The three skill groups and the rate potential of each is as follows: Fabrication: RC 11 - Set-up, all of old job #22, T-up repair, SMAW of x-ray quality, grinding operations as listed below. Ability to train in set-up or touch-up. RC 13 - RC 11 functions above plus TIG, FCAW, and manual MIG processes. Set-up. Nozzle welding, on or off positioner, x-ray quality. Grinding operations as listed above. All layout. All duties previously contained in jobs 22-27. Trains others. Able to solve production and quality problems with little supervision. Additional skills - X-ray repair. Automatic SAW and machine GMAW. C/S to S/S, S/S to S/S, and inconel qualified. Make or assist in making templates and fixtures.
