Job Title: TIG Welder
Job Description

Seeking a TIG welder to perform repair work on gas turbine components. The role involves welding on thin materials that are 40-60 thousand gauged, with a focus on stainless steel and other alloys such as Hastelloy, Inconel, cobalt, and superalloy. Precision and heat control are crucial due to the thin and expensive nature of the materials. The welder will prepare their own work and blend the welds using a variety of grinders and sanders. This includes cutting out or grinding the portion that needs repair, filling it back with 100% weld, and then smoothing it over. The components to be welded include turbine blades, nozzles, combustion parts, blocks, and shrouds.
