BALTIMORE
Thursday, 21 May 2026
Fitters: Fit and assemble structural bridge components in a fabrication shop environment. Read blueprints and WPS sheets to lay out and fit beams, plate girders, stiffeners, diaphragms, splice plates, and other structural members. Measure, mark, and align heavy steel to required tolerances prior to welding. Sub Arc Welders:Operate Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) equipment to weld structural bridge components in a fabrication shop. Weld heavy plate, beams, girders, and bridge assemblies using Sub Arc processes. Set and monitor wire feed, voltage, travel speed, and flux coverage to maintain proper penetration and bead profile. Work from blueprints and WPS to complete production welds in accordance with AWS D 1.5 Bridge Welding Codes. Flux Core Welders:Perform FCAW welding on structural bridge components in a fabrication shop environment. Weld heavy structural steel including plate, beams, stiffeners, diaphragms, and structural assemblies used in bridge construction. Follow WPS procedures to maintain proper voltage, travel speed, and penetration. Perform multi-pass welds on thick structural material while maintaining required bead profile and fusion. Ensure welds meet AWS D 1.5 Bridge Welding Code standards and pass required inspections Requirements Must have welding experience in a bridge fabrication shop. Execute welds in compliance with AWS D 1.5 Bridge Welding Code standards. Ability to consistently maintain weld quality that meets visual and NYS DOT requirements. Pass on-site 3 G FCAW weld test subject to bend and X-ray inspection to meet NYS DOT requirements. Execute welds in compliance with AWS D 1.5 Bridge Welding Code standards
