Responsibilities
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
• Sand or grind parts and bevel edges in preparation for welding. Feather, flute, flat-grind, and level-grind surfaces as needed. Remove severe corners or other surface conditions that may create stress areas subject to fatigue fractures.

• Correct surface defects by applying fillers and filing or sanding areas to meet surface-finish requirements. Apply primer over corrected body areas and exposed aluminum as required.
• Wire-brush welds to remove smoke and residue. Grind and remove excess weld beads to create smooth surfaces. Apply compound and buff surfaces to meet cosmetic criteria and specifications.
