Move parts into position, manually or with hoists or cranes.

04

Position, align, fit, and weld parts to form complete units or subunits, following blueprints and layout specifications, and using jigs, welding torches, and hand tools.

05

Study engineering drawings and blueprints to determine materials requirements and task sequences.

06

Set up and operate fabricating machines, such as brakes, rolls, shears, flame cutters, grinders, and drill presses, to bend, cut, form, punch, drill, or otherwise form and assemble metal components.

07

Lay out and examine metal stock or workpieces to be processed to ensure that specifications are met.

08

Tack-weld fitted parts together.
