• Conducted quality inspections on welds, ensuring compliance with industry standards and safety regulations.
• Troubleshot equipment malfunctions, implementing solutions to minimize operational disruptions.
• Developed training materials for new hires, enhancing onboarding processes and skill development.
• Removed excess slag with arc-cutting, grinding, and using other equipment.
• Clamped and tack-welded components to achieve desired configurations.

As a Welder/Fabricator, I cut, shape, and weld metal components to create and repair structures, equipment, and custom parts. I interpret blueprints, operate fabrication tools, and use multiple welding processes to deliver precise, high-quality results.

• Prepared welding equipment to perform advanced welding work.

In charged with overhauling of the main engine, exhaust valve, calibration of the main engine fuel, valve injection, safety valve, main engine fuel pump and some motor as per chief engineer and first engine order.

As the Chief Maintenance on a passenger vessel, I’m responsible for overseeing the maintenance and repair of the ship’s mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, ensuring everything operates smoothly and safely.

• Managed time efficiently to complete all tasks within deadlines.

As the Chief Maintenance on a passenger vessel, I ensure every essential system on board - mechanical, electrical, and structural - remains in top operational condition. I supervise maintenance crews, plan and execute routine and preventive maintenance, and respond quickly to technical issues to keep the ship safe and reliable. I also manage spare parts, track maintenance records, and coordinate closely with other departments to support smooth vessel operations.

As a number 1 oiler/fitter, I am the foreman in the engine department. I am in-charged in overhauling of engine parts like fuel injection valve, and calibration of injection of fuel injector of the main engine and recondition of the main engine exhaust valve, indicator valve, safety valve,and some engine jobs as instructed of my superior.

As a Fitter Maintenance Attendant,I am responsible for performing routine maintenance, repairs, and installations on mechanical equipment and shipboard systems. I assist senior technicians, troubleshoot mechanical issues, and ensure all tools and machinery are kept in safe working condition. My duties also include following maintenance schedules, adhering to safety procedures, and keeping accurate records of completed tasks.

As a Fabrication Welder, I am responsible for cutting, shaping, and joining metal components to build or repair structures and equipment. I read and interpret blueprints, operate welding and fabrication tools, and ensure all finished work meets quality and safety standards. My role also includes inspecting materials, performing finishing processes, and maintaining welding equipment in proper working condition.

As a TIG/MIG/FCAW Welder, I work with multiple welding processes to fabricate, assemble, and repair metal components with precision and efficiency. I interpret blueprints, prepare materials, and deliver high-quality welds that meet structural and safety standards.

As a Combination Welder, I use multiple welding processes including SMAW, MIG, TIG, and FCAW to complete a wide range of fabrication and repair tasks. I read and interpret blueprints, prepare and align materials, and produce high-quality welds on various metals and in multiple positions. I also inspect my work, maintain my equipment, and ensure every weld meets strict safety and industry standards.

As a Structural Welder, I specialize in welding and assembling metal structures in accordance with engineering drawings and safety standards. I prepare, fit, and weld structural components using various welding processes to ensure strong, reliable connections.

As a Pipe Welder, I specialize in welding and assembling pipes for various systems, ensuring strong, leak-free joints that meet industry codes and specifications. I read and interpret isometric drawings, prepare and fit pipe sections, and use multiple welding processes to achieve precise, high-quality welds.

• Welded in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions.

As a Welder/Shipyard Fabrication Assistant, I support the fabrication and assembly of ship components by cutting, fitting, and welding metal parts according to specifications. I assist senior welders and fabricators, prepare materials, and help maintain a safe and organized work environment.

I operate machinery to fabricate, repair, and maintain metal and mechanical components with precision. I also oversee construction and repair projects, coordinate teams, and ensure that all work meets design specifications and safety standards.

• Assisted in welding fabrication and assembly of metal components.
