Plater Fabricator

Key Responsibilities

1. Material Preparation & Interpretation :

Read and interpret complex engineering drawings, including General Arrangement (GA), detail, and isometric drawings.

Mark out materials for cutting and shaping using templates, scribers, or CNC programming.

Select appropriate materials (e.g., carbon steel S355, stainless steel 316L, aluminium).

2. Fabrication & Forming :

Operate heavy machinery to cut and shape metal :

Thermal Cutting : Plasma, oxy-fuel, and laser cutters.

Mechanical Cutting : Guillotines, band saws.

Forming : Press brakes, rollers, and plate bending machines to form plates into cylinders, cones, etc.

Perform thermal straightening to correct distortions in metal.

3. Assembly & Fitting :

Assemble components using jigs, fixtures, and tack welds to ensure precise alignment before final welding.

Fit and align large sections and plate work to tight tolerances (often within ±2mm).

Use measuring equipment (verniers, levels, laser alignment tools) to check accuracy...
