Fabricate, fit, weld, and finish mild steel/stainless components (stairs, handrails/balustrades, canopies, gates, lintels, embeds, ladders, small structural frames, MEP supports) to approved drawings and specifications, delivering dimensionally accurate, safe, and corrosion-protected work—on programme and compliant with Sharjah Municipality requirements.
Read shop/IFC drawings and weld symbols; confirm materials, thicknesses, and tolerances; raise RFIs for conflicts.
Mark-out, square, clamp, and fit-up components using jigs/fixtures; verify diagonals and camber/straightness.
Execute cutting (shear, bandsaw, plasma/oxy-fuel), drilling/punching, bevelling, rolling/bending as required.
Assemble members with tack welds, maintain root gaps; control distortion and heat input.
Perform SMAW/MMA, GMAW/MIG, GTAW/TIG per approved WPS; select electrodes/wire/gas; clean welds between passes.
Achieve visual acceptance (profile, undercut, porosity) and support NDT (PT/MT/UT) when specified.
Grind/linish, radius edges, and prepare surfaces for galvanizing/powder coat/paint; apply touch-up systems on-site as required.
Ensure proper surface prep (SSPC/ISO), DFT checks for paints, correct vent/drain holes for galvanizing, and stainless–carbon isolation (gaskets/paint).
Stamp/label parts for traceability; pre-assemble handrails/frames for trial fit; protect finished edges during transport.
Assist with erection/installation: drilling/fixing anchors, aligning/levelling, torqueing bolts, welding on site where permitted, sealant/flashings at interfaces.
Coordinate with other trades (openings, embeds, waterproofing continuity).
Complete daily production logs, material heat numbers, weld maps, and inspection checklists.
Keep workshop and site areas orderly; segregate scrap; maintain tools/equipment in good condition.
Follow hot-work permits, fire watch, cylinder storage rules; maintain extinguishers and screens.
Use PPE (helmet, face shield, respirator when grinding/cutting), hearing/hand protection.
Safe lifting/rigging with certified slings; lock-out/tag-out for machines; manage fume extraction and ventilation.
Working-at-height precautions during site installs; prevent dropped objects.
Heat & Humidity:
Work heavy welding/installation early morning/evening; comply with MOHRE summer midday break.
Handle hot metal safely; hydrate and rest in shade; expect extended paint/adhesive cure times and possible flash rust—blast/prime promptly.
Dust/Sand:
Keep cut/weld surfaces clean; cover components to avoid contamination before coating; protect bearings/sliding gear from grit.
Occasional Rain/Coastal Influence:
Store steel off the ground under cover; verify pit/anchor areas are dry before install; use corrosion-resistant fasteners where specified.
Traffic & Logistics:
Plan off-peak or night deliveries for long members; provide banksmen and lift plans; secure SRTA/Police permits if curbside unloading or cranes affect public roads.
5–8 years steel fabrication/welding (UAE/GCC preferred) on building projects.
Competent with SMAW/MIG/TIG, fit-up, jigs, and finishing; familiar with AWS D1.1/BS EN practices (as project specifies).
Able to read drawings/weld symbols; basic English for coordination (Arabic/Urdu/Hindi an advantage).
Valid welder qualification tests (WQT) for relevant processes/thicknesses preferred.
Welding sets (SMAW/MIG/TIG), gas cutting/plasma, grinders & flap wheels, drill press/mag drill, presses/rollers, clamps/jigs, measuring tools (tape, square, vernier), lifting tackles, DFT gauges, PPE, fume extraction.
