Rig Welder resume examples

           At Job Corps I was taught lots of information that I was going to need in life. I was responsible for wide variety of duties including, pipe fitting, painting, carpentry, electrical repair, installation, building repair. I was taught these things so now when I step out into the real word I will be able to fix and build my own house.

I was certified as a Welder after partaking in classes offered to select employees at JWF. George Markovich ( Welding instructor for the local Penn Highlands Community College, also a gifted and thorough instructor) assessed my overall knowledge of a variety of welding techniques in the classroom, as well as the ability to assess individual situations. Requirements of the course included being able to confidently determine how the welder itself is to be set, as well as reading and understanding blueprints. Each part welded during the exam was x-rayed and cut in half to determine the integrity of each weld layed before deciding with other experienced welders whether or not I had retained the knowledge and skills necessary to certify me as a Welder.

   Immediately after receiving the results from George I was put to work on a lot of JWF's contracts with JLG.  JLG at the time had a contract with us to manufacture hundrecs of different parts of handrail. All of which were welded by me and three other men on my crew. A list was emailed weekly, but altewred regularly. Managing ourselves for the most part became a regular thing as well.

   Today I'm grateful for the time I spent on that crew. I gained management skills I still use every day. Taking care with everything I do had become second nature for me as well, and still is.

   I was told by everyone I worked with that I picked up the trade faster than most, and I truely enjoy doing it. Doesn't everyone enjoy doing what they're good at? 

   Starting on the 'Paint Line', there was really only one direcgtion for me to go... up. After showing enough initiative, I progressed to another stage of the company. The 'Knock-Out Cell' was generally where I learned the basics to surviving in a manufacturing company. General skills suh as reading blueprints, driving a fork lift, and regular use of hand tools and other machinery. I learned how important it is to maintain a team building environment that's able to maintain communication and still stay on task. Once an appropriate amount of time was spent proving I was more than capable of handling the types of responsabilities associated with the knock-out cell, I was given an opportunity to learn how to operate their 'Brake Presses'.

   After a few short weeks of learning and picking up a few tricks of the trade from several different men I'd trained with, I was given a position running a 1,000 Ton Brake Press on my own. 

   Wasn't bery long after that another opportunity was laid in front of me. I'd be hired on as a full time employee and given a four dollar raise to either continue running my machine, or I could take a shot at becoming a Welder with the same benefits as well as the same waige. I saw a chance go learn something new and jumped. There was only one catch, if I couldn't cut it as a welder, there was no going back. That's how I started at JWF sweeping floors on the paint line, and left as a certified welder.
