Welder assembler
Assembler-welders, or welder assemblers, must exhibit great precision in handling, positioning, and assembling metal components. They work from blueprints, selecting the appropriate methods to assemble equipment. Additionally, they are responsible for putting together sub-assemblies designed to accommodate mechanical elements, which interact with other sub-assemblies. Welding can be carried out using semi-automatic or manual techniques.

Training Requirements for Welder Assemblers

There are several routes a welder assembler can take to acquire the necessary qualifications for their profession. Many opt for a professional diploma (DEP) in welding assembly, which requires 1800 hours (2 years full-time) of study. Other options include completing a DEP in metal structure fabrication or ornamental metal fabrication, with an additional 825 hours of training (approximately 7 months). Another choice involves a program that integrates the DEC in metallurgical technology, the ASP in high-pressure welding, and the DEP in welding assembly. The Workplace Apprenticeship Program (PAMT) offers another entry point for learning this trade. This program allows candidates interested in the assembler-welder profession to learn from a qualified and experienced professional while following a specific training plan. The duration of the training, however, varies among individuals and depends on each person’s professional or educational background.

OurWelder Assembler Salary

The salary of a welder assembler varies significantly based on their years of experience. Although the average salary is around $58,000 per year (with an hourly rate of $28), it will gradually increase over time.

Essential Skills for a Welder Assembler

Performing complex tasks necessitates a keen attention to detail and accuracy in one’s actions. Good visuospatial abilities are also required due to the interconnectedness of various systems and the need to visualize parts in three dimensions. Solid organizational skills are crucial for assessing the steps needed to complete the required work. Naturally, excellent dexterity is required due to the manipulation of numerous machines and tools for shaping, cutting, and assembling metal parts. As the assembler-welder profession is physically demanding, endurance and strength are vital qualities to possess. This is particularly true as the job involves exposure to heat and lifting heavy objects. To obtain a professional competency certificate in this trade, the professional standard necessitates mastery of four primary skills:
  • being able to check the quality of the work performed;
  • being able to plan assembly-welding tasks;
  • assembling a welded mechanical assembly;
  • possessing the skills needed to employ semi-automatic or manual welding processes.
It is worth noting that welders assemblers working with heavy sheet metal must also master a fifth skill related to performing tasks connected to welding.
