SKILLS REQUIRED

Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in oxy-acetylene/oxy-propane brazing/oxy-natural gas brazing.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, blueprints, and assembly instructions.
• Understanding of heat transfer, thermal expansion, and metal joining techniques.

QUALIFICATIONS AND EDUCATION REQUIRED

Education & Experience:

• High School Diploma or GED (required).
• Technical diploma or certification in HVAC, including brazing/soldering.
• 2+ years of experience in brazing in an HVAC or manufacturing setting.

Certifications (Preferred but Not Required):

• Brazing Certification (TSSA or equivalent)
• HVAC Certification (recognized college or technical school)
• Occupational Health and Safety Training

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, stand for long periods, and work in confined spaces.
• Comfortable working in hot environments due to torch use.
• Good hand-eye coordination and steady hands for precision brazing.

Brazing:

• Brazing operations for refrigeration systems will join the following material using the appropriate brazing filler material: copper to copper, copper to brass, copper to stainless steel.
• Brazing will use the following gases: oxy-acetylene, oxy-propane, or oxy-ng torches.
• HVAC brazers apply standard brazing techniques to prevent oxidation, including nitrogen purging while brazing and/or soldering to create strong/clean/leak-free braze joints.

Assembly & Fabrication:

• Read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and work instructions to assemble HVAC units.
• Cut, fit, and join refrigerant lines, condensers, evaporators, and compressors as required.
• Ensure brazed joints meet company and industry standards (e.g., ASME, AHRI, NFPA, CSA, or UL).

Quality Control & Testing:

• Conduct visual inspections and pressure tests (e.g., nitrogen leak tests) to verify leak-free joints.
• Identify and repair defects, leaks, or poor connections before system assembly.
• Maintain high-quality workmanship in compliance with HVAC industry standards.

Safety & Compliance:

• Follow all workplace safety procedures, including PPE use, and proper handling of torches, gases, and metals.
