Job Title: Argon Welder / TIG Welder - Fuel Piping System

Pay: - 20,000.00 - 28,000.00 per month

Department : Construction / Mechanical / Piping

Reporting To : Piping Supervisor / Welding Foreman / Construction Manager

Job Location: Navi Mumbai

Fuel Distribution System (Tank Farm / Fuel Terminal / Airport Fuel Hydrant System)

Job Summary:

The Argon Welder (TIG Welder) is responsible for performing high-precision welding using the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW/TIG) process with Argon shielding gas on fuel distribution piping systems. The welder ensures that all welding work complies with approved WPS, project specifications, and safety standards applicable to EPC construction projects involving flammable fuel systems.

Key Responsibilities:

1. TIG / Argon Welding: Perform Argon (TIG/GTAW) welding on piping used in fuel transfer and distribution systems. Weld carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel piping as per project requirements. Ensure proper root pass welding for critical fuel piping joints. Maintain weld quality in accordance with WPS (Welding Procedure Specification).

2. Joint Preparation: Check fit-up and alignment of pipes and fittings before welding. Ensure clean and proper joint preparation including bevels and root gaps. Remove oil, rust, moisture, and contamination before welding.

3. Welding Quality Control: Produce welds that meet visual inspection and NDT requirements such as:

Radiographic Testing (RT) Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Dye Penetrant Testing (PT)

Minimize welding defects such as:

Porosity, Lack of fusion, Cracks & Undercut

4. Compliance with WPS and Drawings: Follow approved WPS, PQR, and welding procedures. Understand and follow piping isometric drawings and weld maps. Use correct welding parameters (current, polarity, filler material).

5. Equipment Operation Operate and maintain welding equipment such as: TIG welding machine Argon gas cylinder and regulator Welding torches and electrodes Grinding and finishing tools Ensure proper machine setup and gas flow rate.

6. Safety Compliance: Follow strict HSE procedures for working in fuel handling areas. Use proper PPE including welding helmet, gloves, face shield, and fire-resistant clothing. Ensure fire prevention measures during welding activities. Follow Hot Work Permit procedures.

7. Pre-Commissioning Support: Assist in repair welding during hydro testing or leak testing. Support final weld inspection and punch list clearance.

Required Skills: Skilled in TIG / GTAW (Argon) welding Knowledge of fuel piping systems Ability to read piping isometric drawings Understanding of welding symbols and weld maps Knowledge of pipe welding positions (1G, 2G, 5G, 6G) Familiarity with NDT requirements Welding Processes

Primary Process: GTAW / TIG Welding (Argon) Secondary Processes (optional): SMAW (Stick Welding) Root pass TIG + fill/cap SMAW
