Hello All,
I hope this new post finds everyone well.
In search of hoping to find answers I came across AWS forums and read some of the postings some of you have wrote and found allot of good support and opinions from the community. With that I would like to share my thoughts with those willing to answer.
I'm 41 yrs old, I've been in the welding trade since I was 17. First 12 yrs in custom fabrication building custom hydraulic/pneumatic equipment, conveyors, lifting equip., hoppers, mezzanines & structural steel basically give me a drawing and I can build anything. Some work involved plant maint. This time was spent in the industrial environment.
The latter half of my experience to present I've been and Ironworker in miscellaneous metal installation. From Installing Mezzanines, roof structures, red Iron structural steel., Railings and different types of stairs. Curtain wall steel supports. Installation of steel in some inconvenient places.
I've welded in many processes such as SMAW, FCAW, MCAW MIG and TIG even some brazing and soldering.
Within a short time working for companies I always end up in leadership roles such as lead hand, acting foreman to now foreman.
My Canadaian Credentials Im a Red Seal Welder, Red Seal Structural Plate fitter , Red Seal Ironworker Generalist, and I've completed a Millwright Apprenticeship but did not write the Red Seal test because I continued in the ironworking field.
Ive been certified and have welded Pipe 6G with stick.
Im now make 95k a yr working 42hrs 52 weeks. In Toronto. Moving because wife got a good position in Plano Texas.
Yes this is a lot of info but Im hoping it will help me find some answers or direction to my question.
