Welder Job Description

A welder is someone who uses welding equipment to fuse pieces of metal together.

A welder may either use automatic or manual welding equipment.

An automatic welder is operated by someone pressing the start button.

However, it generally takes longer for an automatic welder to complete a weld.

A manual welder is operated by a personal hand crank.

Depending on the welder, it may also take a longer time for the weld to complete.

However, more custom welds can be made.

A welder must understand how to handle the equipment and how to operate the controls.

Also, he or she must be familiar with the different types of welding equipment and how to use it.
