  • Maintenance & Safety: Perform routine maintenance on welding rigs and equipment; strictly adhere to workshop safety protocols, including wearing required PPE and maintaining a safe work environment.

Qualifications & Key Requirements

  • Education: Certificate or Trade Test (Grade I, II, or III) / Diploma in Welding & Fabrication, Mechanical Engineering, or a related trade.
  • Certifications: AWS certification (e.g., AWS D1.1 Structural Welding or AWS D1.2 Structural Aluminum Welding) or equivalent standard certification is highly desirable.
  • Experience: 2 to 5+ years of practical welding and metal fabrication experience, ideally within commercial vehicle bodybuilding, heavy machinery, or structural steel industries.
