  • Ensure all welding activities comply with project quality requirements and inspection standards.
  • Work safely within permit-controlled environments, including confined spaces and working at height.
  • Support pressure system repairs and modifications during shutdown periods.
  • Maintain welding equipment and consumables to a high standard.
  • Adhere to all site safety rules, procedures, and risk control measures
