Brief Description

Use knowledge of welding techniques and processes, metallurgical and material types, material cutting

processes (oxy/acetylene and plasma), weld symbols, and engineering blueprints to accomplish

production goals. The Fitter will lay out, position, and secure parts and assemblies according to

specifications using typical or common fabrication tools (tape measure, tri-square, etc.) and welds.

Key Responsibilities

• Intermediate level concept of utilizing blueprints to fit up and fabricate metal components and

equipment.

• Tack weld, or weld components and assemblies using GMAW, SMAW, and FCAW welding

processes.

• Perform first order inspection to ensure accuracy and dimensions meeting quality standards.
• Use of jib and overhead cranes to move assembled parts.
• Demonstrate safe working practices and standards.
• Assist with coordination of helpers.
• Adhere to and actively promote the ANDRITZ 8 Life-Saving Rules in all work activities.
• Consistently embody and promote the #1ANDRITZway core values and behaviors, fostering a

positive and collaborative work environment.

Scope of Decision-Making Authority

1. Health, Safety, and Environment: All employees have the right to refuse any task they believe is

unsafe and must report such refusals immediately to a supervisor, Human Resources, or the Safety

Coordinator for investigation. Employees are expected to intervene when they identify unsafe

conditions or behaviors, including environmental risks, and take steps to prevent injury, illness, or

property damage. Every employee also has a responsibility to actively contribute to maintaining safe

and healthy working conditions by participating in health and safety activities, complying with

company policies, and promptly reporting unsafe situations.

2. Technical Decisions: Makes routine decisions related to fitting, layout, tack welding, fabrication

methods, tool selection, and interpretation of blueprints, weld symbols, and specifications within

established procedures and quality standards. Escalates non-routine technical issues, unclear

specifications, or deviations from approved methods to the supervisor or appropriate technical

resource.

3. Policy Interpretation: Applies established company policies, work instructions, quality requirements,

and shop procedures in day-to-day work. Seeks guidance from the supervisor when policy

requirements, procedural expectations, or work instructions are unclear.

4. Financial Authority: Has no direct financial approval authority. Supports cost-effective work

practices by using materials, tools, equipment, and time efficiently and reporting potential waste,

rework, or resource concerns to the supervisor.

5. People & Resource Management: May provide task-level guidance or assistance to helpers or less

experienced employees during fabrication activities but does not have direct supervisory authority.

Coordinates use of tools, materials, and equipment within assigned work and escalates resource

constraints or scheduling concerns to the supervisor.

6. Continuous Improvement: Identifies and communicates opportunities to improve safety, quality,

workflow, fabrication methods, tool use, and material handling. May support implementation of

approved improvement activities within the scope of assigned work.
