Key Responsibilities and Duties:

• Perform manual and orbital TIG welding on UHP stainless steel tubing
• Execute welds for gas and chemical distribution systems in semiconductor facilities
• Maintain strict oxygen control and purge procedures (ppm-level monitoring)
• Prepare and clean materials to ultra-high purity standards (no contamination)
• Read and interpret isometric drawings, P\&IDs, and spool drawings
• Ensure compliance with SEMI standards, ASME BPE, and client specifications
• Carry out boroscope inspections and visual weld inspections where required
• Complete full weld traceability documentation (log sheets, weld maps, etc.)
• Work in cleanroom environments following strict gowning and behavioural protocols
• Collaborate with QA/QC on inspection, testing, and validation processes
• Perform system installation and tie-ins on-site where required

Key Skills and Competencies:* Certified TIG welder and/or Orbital welding certification * Ability to pass UHP weld tests * 3–5+ years TIG welding experience on stainless steel tubing * Proven experience in semiconductor, microelectronics \& UHP environments * Experience working on high purity gas systems * Strong experience with thin-wall stainless steel * Advanced TIG welding skills with high precision and consistency * Expertise in back purging and oxygen control * Ability to read and interpret isometrics, P\&IDs, and spool drawings * Strong knowledge of contamination control and cleanroom practices * Experience maintaining weld traceability * Familiarity with SEMI standards, ASME BPE, and client specifications * Excellent attention to detail with a zero-defect mindset * Strong quality focus and ability to work to strict tolerances * Ability to work independently and as part of a team in high-spec environments
