DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

 Stainless Steel Fabrication and Welding

  • Carry out stainless steel fabrication, including cutting, measuring, marking, bending, grinding, and assembling metal components.
  • Perform TIG welding on stainless steel and other compatible metals, ensuring strong, clean, and precise weld joints.
  • Polish, grind, and finish fabricated products to achieve the required surface quality and specifications.
  • Select appropriate welding consumables, tools, and equipment for different fabrication tasks.
  • Minimise material wastage and welding defects through proper fabrication techniques.

 Technical Drawing and Engineering Interpretation

  • Read, interpret, and work from engineering drawings, blueprints, sketches, and fabrication specifications.
  • Take accurate measurements and ensure fabricated components meet specified dimensions and tolerances.
  • Translate technical drawings into practical fabrication steps and production requirements.
  • Identify discrepancies in drawings or specifications and seek clarification from the relevant supervisor.
  • Assist in preparing cutting lists, fabrication layouts, and material requirements.

 Production and Assembly

  • Fabricate, fit, and assemble stainless steel structures, mechanical components, frames, and other metal products.
  • Ensure fabricated components fit correctly and meet required functional and dimensional specifications.
  • Collaborate with production staff, welders, and supervisors to complete projects within agreed timelines.
  • Monitor material usage and minimise offcuts, rework, and unnecessary wastage.
  • Recommend improvements to fabrication methods and workshop processes to enhance productivity.

Quality Control and Inspection

  • Inspect fabricated components and welded joints to ensure compliance with approved drawings and quality standards.
  • Check dimensions, alignment, weld quality, and surface finishes before products proceed to the next production stage.
  • Identify fabrication defects and carry out necessary corrections or rework.
  • Maintain consistent workmanship, precision, and quality across all assigned projects.
  • Report recurring quality issues and recommend corrective measures to prevent defects.

Equipment Maintenance, Safety, and Workshop Management

  • Operate welding machines, grinders, cutting tools, drilling machines, and other fabrication equipment safely.
  • Conduct routine checks on workshop tools and machinery, reporting faults and maintenance requirements promptly.
  • Maintain a clean, organised, and safe working environment, ensuring tools and materials are properly stored.
  • Adhere to workplace health and safety procedures and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • Follow welding safety, fire prevention, ventilation, and safe material-handling procedures at all times.

KEY REQUIREMENT SKILLS AND QUALIFICATION

  • Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from a recognised institution.
  • At least 1–2 years of relevant hands-on experience in stainless steel fabrication, TIG welding, metal fabrication, or a manufacturing environment.
  • Demonstrable practical experience in TIG welding, particularly on stainless steel.
  • Good knowledge of metal fabrication processes, welding techniques, workshop tools, and machinery.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, engineering sketches, and fabrication specifications.
  • Understanding of dimensional measurements, tolerances, material selection, and quality control procedures.
  • Basic knowledge of occupational health and safety practices in a fabrication or manufacturing workshop.
