Key responsibilities

• Prepare and correctly position metal door, frame and component parts in welding jigs and fixtures before production.

• Set up and operate robotic MIG welding equipment and, where required, support TIG welding or manual finishing

operations.

• Load or select approved welding programmes, check operating parameters and make authorised adjustments to

achieve consistent weld quality.

• Inspect welded assemblies for alignment, distortion, weld appearance, penetration and dimensional accuracy against

drawings and specifications.

• Identify and correct routine issues involving the robot, welding torch, wire feed, gas supply, fixtures, sensors and

component positioning.

• Work closely with production, engineering and quality personnel when introducing new door or frame variants,

fixtures or welding programmes.
