Sandblast Technician
A sandblast technician is responsible for preparing and cleaning surfaces using abrasive blasting equipment. Here are some key duties and responsibilities:
Surface Preparation: Identifying surfaces to be treated and protecting areas that should remain uncoated. This includes masking, solvent wiping, grinding, and abrasive blasting.
Operating Equipment: Using abrasive blasting equipment to clean and remove corrosion or contaminants from materials1.
Inspection and Quality Assurance: Inspecting parts for contaminants like oil and grease before blasting, and ensuring all work meets quality standards1.
Safety Compliance: Following safety policies and standards, including OSHA regulations, to maintain a safe working environment1.
Material Handling: Managing materials and troubleshooting equipment as needed1.
Sandblast technicians often work in industries like power generation, chemical processing, and manufacturing1. They need to be detail-oriented, able to work independently or as part of a team, and physically capable of handling tasks like lifting and working in confined spaces1.
Marton is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated at the junction between the A156 and the A1500. It is 5 miles (8 km) south of Gainsborough, and 11 miles (18 km) north-west of Lincoln. The population of the civil parish (including Gate Burton) was 747 at the 2011 census.[1] The parish borders Brampton, Gate Burton, Sturton by Stow, North Leverton with Habblesthorpe, Cottam, Sturton-le-Steeple and Willingham.[2]
In Roman times, it was a way station, slightly north of the larger fort at Torksey, the point just before the Roman road crossed the River Trent. The modern A156 road crosses the ancient Roman road (now the A1500) mentioned in the Antonine Itinerary.[citation needed] Erasmus Darwin, the grandfather of Charles Darwin, descended from a yeoman family who lived for a number of generations at Marton.[3]
In the centre of the village stands the church of St Margaret. The building is essentially of the Norman Conquest period, built using a mixture of Anglo-Saxon and Norman styles.[4] Much of the work of these periods is still retained. It has an 11th-century tower[5] of herringbone masonry, a Saxon cross shaft set in an outer wall and an ancient carved crucifix within. The tall cross in the churchyard is used as a war memorial and it is thought to be a former Medieval market buttercross.[citation needed]
