Talk:Sample Welder Job Description
Grabbing a chart for the Weld Positions might be good to see what all you do. I don’t know if i put it on-wiki yet, but optimizing for Flat Welding is a good goal imo (although some things will inherently require pipe welding etc)
It would be higher skill (and thus higher pay probably), but Preparing Weld Schedules / Weld Diagrams / Weld Blueprints , and/or Programming for Robotic Welding would be a good skill to have in there.
Nondestructive Testing is a pretty high skill high pay job if i remember correctly so for anything above Dye Penetrant Testing or Magnetic Particle Weld Inspection (and just “visual inspection” from someone who knows how to spot a bad weld) may be a bit harder to find.
Radioagraphy is out of our range; although that is mainly pipeline/boilermaking. Looking for an old ultrasonic ndt machine would be a good idea too, especially if we start going into steam and such. An OSHW Phased Array Weld Inspector would be legendary!

It would be a better fit on another page, and I don’t know what you all have at FeF already (short of big things like the Ironworker etc, but i could make a BOM / some sort of spreadsheet on what all you would want for a weld shop if you would like.
Granted if we’re hiring someone on a per task basis, they may have all their own equipment, but for a more permanent position/getting more entry level welders (which may be easier to do/work well with local school/club networking), having all the tools needed and a nice orderly+safe workshop would be good.
