Duties Include:
Cutting steel – using drawings provided by engineering, the employee is required to place sheets of steel, using overhead crane if necessary, onto the metal shear and cut to length. For iron shapes, stock is placed into the ironworker or rotary chop saw and cut to length.
Bending steel – use the CNC controlled brake with back-gauge, sheet steel is placed into the brake and bent per the engineering drawings. Bending is done by one or two fabricators depending on the sheet size, determination is made by the manager.
Hole punching – using an ironworker, turret punch, plasma torch, magnetic drill, drill press, or handheld drill; employee is required to be able to use all equipment and to select the “best” method to efficiently, accurately, safely and astatically work the metal to produce the opening specified by engineering.
Product assembly – For standard product, working from engineering drawings, the employee must be able to, place cut structural and / or formed mild steel into a jig assembly, clamp into jig box and welded together. Work tables, job stations and jigs have been designed for ergonomic worker body position and worker efficiency. Job stations for enclosures and subassemblies parts / panels have been designed to; reduce worker fatigue, minimize back, shoulder and knee stress, enhance worker body position for worker productivity and quality workmanship.
