Original job description
Responsibilities
- Perform Standardized Welding Operations: Execute welding tasks for automotive body structure parts according to established Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), operating robotic welding cells or performing manual welding.
- Ensure Quality & Self-Inspection: Conduct first-piece and periodic self-inspections of welded products, identify common weld defects (e.g., spatter, undercut, porosity), and ensure parts meet quality standards.
- Basic Equipment Maintenance: Perform daily checks, cleaning, and basic maintenance of welding equipment, such as replacing gun nozzles and contact tips.
- Safety & Compliance: Strictly adhere to shop floor safety protocols, use personal protective equipment (PPE) correctly, and ensure work complies with environmental regulations.
- Team Collaboration: Work closely with production line teams, process technicians, and quality inspectors to meet production targets.
- Precision Process Development: Responsible for the development and parameter optimization of welding processes for automotive body structural components (e.g., rails, bumper beams, suspension brackets, battery trays). Ensure weld strength, fatigue life, and dimensional accuracy meet stringent engineering standards.
- Technical Problem-Solving: Lead the resolution of high-difficulty technical challenges in body welding, such as welding dissimilar metals (ultra-high-strength steel, aluminum), minimizing weld distortion, and increasing automation rates.
- Tooling & Automation Collaboration: Work closely with tooling and automation engineers to design and commission welding fixtures and robotic welding cells, ensuring production cycle time and process stability.
Mandatory Qualifications
- Must Hold Valid Welding Certification:
- Must possess a valid Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) ticket for the required welding positions.
- Essential Knowledge & Experience:
- Ability to proficiently read mechanical drawings and welding symbols.
- Proven welding experience in automotive manufacturing, metal fabrication, or heavy equipment industries.
- Experience with robotic welding operations or programming is a strong asset.
- Physical & Ability Requirements:
- Ability to work in a shift environment and perform tasks involving prolonged standing, bending, and lifting.
- Strong attention to detail, with a solid commitment to quality and safety.
