Welder I - Nights

Position Summary:       Under the direction of the Manager and/or Supervisor of Manufacturing Operations, Brazers join pieces of metal together by first heating the pieces and then placing a solder-like filler substance on the joint. They allow the heated metal to melt the filler and seal the joint. Brazers are   not the same as   welders, since   brazers   use heat and filler to bond joints together,   whereas   welders melt metals at   high temperatures   to fuse them together. However, it is not uncommon for   brazers   to also be trained as welders. Working with extremely hot materials   requires the use   of protective   gear to ensure safety.     Position Responsibilities:   • Brazes (bonds) together components to assemble metal parts as specified by layout, work order, or blueprints, using hand torch,   • Guides torch and rod along joint of work pieces to heat to brazing temperature, melt braze alloy, and bond work pieces together.   • Removes work   piece   from   fixture , using tongs, and cools work   piece , using air or water.   • Cleans joints of work pieces, using   wire   brush or by dipping them into cleaning solution.   • Examines seams and   rebrazes   defective joints or broken parts.   • Connects   hoses from torch to regulator valves and cylinders of oxygen and specified fuel gas,   acetylene   or natural.   • Brushes flux onto joint of work piece or dips braze rod into flux to prevent oxidation of metal.   • Aligns and secures work pieces in fixtures, jigs, or vise, using   rule ,   square , or   template .   • Melts and   separates   brazed joints to remove and straighten damaged or misaligned components, using hand torch or furnace.   • Selects torch   tip , flux, and brazing   alloy   from data charts or work   order .   • Adjusts electric current and timing cycle of resistance welding machine to heat metal to bonding temperature.   • Able to do destructive examination and testing of brazed joints completed by employees.     Position   Qualifications • High school diploma or equivalent, preferred .    Completion of some secondary/trade school technical and/or general business   course   is preferred .     • Requires a minimum of 1   years   of brazing experience (W1), or equivalent combination of technical school, on-the-job   training   and work experience.   • Able to follow directions, knowledgeable of metalworking safety protocols and comfortable working with others,    • Familiar with brazing techniques and materials   • Ability to read,   understand   and interpret two- and three-dimensional diagrams   in order to   fit metal products correctly.   • Ability to read and understand mechanical/piping drawings and   applications legend   for circuit and parts identification.   • Able to   operate   and use hand and power tools (pipe cutter, ratcheting, standard wrenches)   • Must be able to apply significant torque with hand tools throughout the entire   work day   (wrenches, ratcheting tools, channel locks, etc.)   • Able to read a tape measure.   • Able to lift and/or move heavy objects/components,   frequently   up to 25lbs. and occasionally up to 50 lbs.   • Must be detail-oriented and   possess   good near-vision and eyesight to see details and characteristics of the joint at close range and be able to detect changes in molten metal flows.   • Requires manual dexterity with   ability   to make coordinated hand and finger movements to grasp, manipulate and assemble objects, and handle tools.   • Ability to work in repetitive motions and pressure involving fingers, hands, and wrists.   • Able to stand for prolonged periods on a concrete floor.   • Able to walk, reach with hands and arms, push, pull, stoop, bend, kneel, crouch, and crawl.   • Able to climb ladders and work in high areas.   • Must have   demonstrated   ability to communicate (speak, read, write) in English.   • Good math skills are preferred to interpret drawings and specifications.   • Able to work independently and with others.   • Wear safety gear   at all times         N ortek Air Management and its divisions offer a comprehensive compensation and benefits package.   To learn more about Nortek   Air Solutions , please visit our company website at   [link in the portal] .    Nortek   Air Solutions   and Nortek   Global HVAC   are equal opportunity employers and do not unlawfully discriminate against any applicant   on the basis of   race, color, religion, sex national origin, age disability, sexual orientation, or any other class protected by federal or state law.
