Welder LinkedIn About section example
I build things that need to hold. For seven years I've worked as a welder fitter in structural and heavy fabrication shops in Hamilton, laying out, fitting and welding beams, columns and custom assemblies from shop drawings. I hold CWB all-position tickets for SMAW and FCAW. On my last major project about 99% of my ultrasonic-tested welds were accepted on first inspection. I'm comfortable on overhead cranes, read drawings and weld symbols confidently and help newer welders with fit-up. I'm open to fabrication or field welding roles in the Golden Horseshoe. Shop foremen, feel free to reach out.
