What is a welding engineer?
A welding engineer is a trained professional who designs, creates and maintains a wide range of welding systems and equipment in construction, aerospace, engineering, auto manufacturing and maritime industries. Their work involves researching welding techniques and creating equipment that aids welding processes and makes them more efficient. Welder engineers develop procedures for welders to follow when fabricating materials, ensuring that they corroborate with health and safety regulations and standards. Some other responsibilities of the role include:
overseeing welding procedures and generating new or alternative ones for improved efficiency
analysing and interpreting engineering designs to determine welding requirements
training other welders on new techniques, processes or changes in design
reviewing procedures, documentation and welding processes of subcontractors throughout projects to ensure designing codes are well implemented
auditing suppliers to guarantee an adequate supply of quality and correct materials
coordinating root cause and failure analyses on welding projects
harnessing the latest welding techniques for use in a wide range of construction projects
providing technical support to construction or other industry professionals
developing and reviewing non-destructive testing procedures
maximising a welding project's profits
Norfolk (/ˈnɔːrfək/) is a county in East Anglia in England. It borders Lincolnshire to the northwest, Cambridgeshire to the west and southwest, and Suffolk to the south. Its northern and eastern boundaries are the North Sea and to the northwest, The Wash. The county town is the city of Norwich. With an area of 2,074 square miles (5,370 km2) and a population of 859,400, Norfolk is a largely rural county with a population density of 401 per square mile (155 per km2). Of the county's population, 40% live in four major built up areas: Norwich (213,000), Great Yarmouth (63,000), King's Lynn (46,000) and Thetford (25,000).[4]
The Broads is a network of rivers and lakes in the east of the county, extending south into Suffolk. The area is not a national park[5] although it is marketed as such. It has similar status to a national park, and is protected by the Broads Authority.[6]
