Welder

We are looking for a highly skilled Automotive Welder to support vehicle and component manufacturing within a high-volume production environment. This role requires strong technical expertise in precision welding, the ability to work with automotive-grade materials, and strict adherence to quality and safety standards. The ideal candidate will be experienced in repetitive, accuracy-driven welding processes and capable of maintaining consistency across production runs. Key Responsibilities 1. Automotive Welding Operations Perform welding on automotive components such as chassis frames, exhaust systems, brackets, body panels, and structural parts Execute welding using MIG (GMAW), TIG (GTAW), and spot welding depending on material and production requirements Handle thin-gauge metals (e.g., sheet metal) commonly used in automotive bodywork without causing warping or defects Ensure proper weld penetration, bead consistency, and structural integrity in line with automotive standards 2. Reading & Interpretation of Technical Drawings Interpret engineering drawings, welding symbols, and assembly instructions specific to automotive components Follow precise measurements, tolerances, and alignment specifications critical in vehicle assembly 3. Equipment Setup & Maintenance Set up welding machines based on material type (mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum) and thickness Adjust voltage, current, and gas flow to achieve optimal weld quality Conduct routine maintenance and basic troubleshooting of welding equipment 4. Quality Control & Inspection Inspect welds visually and using gauges or testing tools to ensure compliance with automotive quality standards Identify and correct defects such as cracks, porosity, undercutting, or misalignment Work closely with quality control teams to maintain consistency across batches 5. Production Efficiency Meet daily production targets while maintaining high-quality output Work efficiently within assembly lines or fabrication units with minimal supervision Adapt quickly to repetitive tasks while maintaining precision and consistency 6. Safety & Compliance Follow strict automotive manufacturing safety standards and PPE requirements Ensure safe handling of welding gases, equipment, and materials Maintain a clean, hazard-free workstation in line with 5S or lean man Requirements Proven experience in automotive or industrial welding Certification in welding (NITA / Trade Test / Equivalent) Strong hands-on experience with MIG welding (essential) and familiarity with TIG and spot welding Ability to work with thin sheet metal and precision components Strong understanding of automotive welding tolerances and quality standards Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and welding symbols Experience working in a production line or high-volume manufacturing setup High level of attention to detail and consistency Experience working in an automotive assembly plant or component manufacturing environment Familiarity with robotic welding systems or automated welding lines Knowledge of lean manufacturing, Kaizen, or 5S practices Additional certifications in fabrication or quality inspection
