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.
Responsibilities or duties
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
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
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
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
