Description
Job Summary:
We are seeking a Geosynthetic Welding Technician with experience in the installation and welding of geomembranes and GCL for mining, environmental, or agro-industrial projects, performing quality testing and equipment maintenance.
Key Highlights:
1. Experience with HDPE/LLDPE geomembranes, GCL, and geotextiles
2. Proficiency in thermal fusion and extrusion welding
3. Conducting pressure tests and equipment maintenance
Corporativo Lomas is a prominent Peruvian mining company dedicated to mineral processing. We operate nationwide with strategically located plants in Piura, Arequipa, Trujillo, and Nazca
**REQUIREMENTS:**
* Geosynthetic welding technician or related technical degree
* Minimum 3 years of experience as a Geosynthetic Welding Technician on mining projects (leaching, process ponds), environmental projects (sanitary landfills), or agro-industrial projects (water reservoirs).
* Material Expertise: Proven hands-on experience simultaneously handling HDPE/LLDPE geomembranes (common thicknesses from 1\.0 mm to 2\.5 mm), GCL (Geosynthetic Clay Liner), and geotextiles.
* Immediate availability to work in Piura under a 20 x 10 work schedule.
**RESPONSIBILITIES:**
* GCL (Geosynthetic Clay Liner) Installation: Unroll, place, and align GCL layers per project drawings, ensuring minimum required overlaps and preventing premature contamination or hydration of the material.
* Geomembrane Deployment: Supervise and execute the laying of geomembrane (HDPE/LLDPE) panels, controlling excessive wrinkling (waves) and protecting the material from mechanical damage during handling.
* Thermal Fusion Welding (Double-Wedge Channel): Operate automated hot-wedge machinery to perform primary panel joins, correctly calibrating temperature, speed, and pressure parameters according to site conditions.
* Extrusion Welding: Apply filler welds (resin beads) in critical zones, T-joints, patches, repairs, and complex geometric details inaccessible to the wedge.
* Air Pressure Testing: Seal both ends of the double-wedge channel and inject air at the standard pressure (e.g., ASTM) to verify no pressure drop indicating leaks.
* Vacuum Box Testing: Apply soapy solution and generate vacuum over extrusion weld beads to detect bubbles revealing porosity or defects.
* Traceability and Reporting: Assist in marking and recording each weld joint (weld number, operator, temperature, test results) for the Quality Assurance (CQA) dossier.
* Equipment Maintenance: Perform daily cleaning and preventive maintenance on assigned hot wedges, extruders, thermal blowers, and electric generators.
* Other position-specific duties.
**BENEFITS:**
* Full payroll registration with 100% statutory benefits.
* Market-competitive salary
* All transportation, meals, and accommodation covered by the employer.
* Timely payments
* Career development path
