Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers
Welding aeronautical parts across aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and nickel-based alloys using three welding processes transfers directly to civilian welding work.
How to prepare: Arrange a hands-on welding assessment using the processes and alloys in a target employer's job posting to identify any practice needed before applying.
What the civilian work involves
- Examine workpieces for defects and measure workpieces with straightedges or templates to ensure conformance with specifications.
- Weld components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions.
- Recognize, set up, and operate hand and power tools common to the welding trade, such as shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding equipment.
