Job Description
Title: Welder
Location: Montrose, UK.
We are seeking a highly skilled TIG (GTAW) Welder with proven expertise in the fabrication and welding of duplex stainless steel and Inconel‑clad carbon steel pipe spools. The successful candidate will play a key role in the production of high‑integrity process piping, working to exacting quality standards across pipe sizes ranging from ¾" to 9" OD, in full compliance with project specifications and applicable welding codes.
Key Responsibilities:
* Perform GTAW (TIG) welding on duplex stainless steels and Inconel clad carbon steels in accordance with approved Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS).
* Fabricate and weld pipe spools (¾"–9" OD) to tight tolerances, ensuring correct alignment, sound root fusion, and full weld penetration.
* Work in compliance with ASME Section IX, EN ISO 15614 / EN ISO 9606, or equivalent company-approved welding qualification standards.
* Accurately interpret isometric drawings, P&IDs, fabrication drawings, weld maps, and WPS/PQR documentation.
* Carry out all stages of weld preparation, including joint fit up, bevel inspection, purge planning and setup, and consumable control.
* Produce welds that consistently meet NDE and QA acceptance criteria, including VT, PT, RT, and UT where applicable.
* Adhere to internal fabrication procedures, safety requirements, and strict material traceability controls.
* Work collaboratively with supervisors, welding inspectors, and QA personnel to maintain production schedules and quality objectives.
Candidate Profile:
Proven hands-on experience in GTAW welding of duplex stainless steel and Inconel overlay/clad materials, ideally on pipe spools and pressure‑retaining components.
Valid, in‑date welder qualifications to ASME IX or EN ISO 9606 (or the ability and willingness to complete approval testing).
* Strong technical understanding of heat input control, ferrite balance in duplex materials, and correct handling of nickel alloys.
* Ability to confidently read and follow technical drawings, WPS documents, and fabrication data sheets.
* Demonstrated commitment to producing welds suitable for stringent inspection and NDE requirements.
* Effective communicator with the ability to work within a team-based fabrication environment.
* Safety focused, with a disciplined approach to housekeeping and maintaining a clean, controlled work area.
