welding engineer
Welding engineers research and develop optimal effective welding techniques and design the corresponding, equally efficient equipment to aid in the welding process. They also conduct quality control and evaluate inspection procedures for welding activities. Welding engineers have advanced knowledge and critical understanding of welding technology application. They are able to manage high complex technical and professional activities or projects related to welding applications, while also taking responsibility for the decision making process.
Also called: engineering welding fabricator supervisor, welding engineering consultant, welding technology engineer, sheet-metal welding inspector, production line welding engineer, welding engineering specialist, tack welding engineer, electric arc welding inspector
