Welding Engineer

Are you eager to take your career to the next level? If yes, we encourage your application for the  Welding Engineer role. You will be the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Welding Engineering and automation. Coordinate welding processes, including qualifications of welders and weld processes according to the applicable standards.

Understand manufacturing operations from a process, safety, cost, and quality perspective and for identifying and prioritizing opportunities to improve safety, ergonomics and quality, reduce cost, and refine manufacturing processes. Works with Quality to ensure compliance with procedures and standards, and developing and maintaining welding documentation (PQR, WPS, WPQ). 

According to applicable Global Work Instructions the Welding Engineer is responsible for preparing and implementing the welding documentation and Quality is responsible for validation of it.

By joining us as a Welding Engineer in EDE, GELDERLAND, Netherlands, this role can be a good foundation for your future career within Emerson. We encourage advancement and offer tangible development opportunities!
