Welders pick the materials to join or cut and arrange them in an appropriate configuration before following a specific design or blueprint to build the desired product.

Welders are also in charge of making structural repairs, ensuring the integrity of the welding equipment is intact, and smoothing and polishing the metal surfaces once welded together.
