The Group’s 2023 Employee Welding Skills and Overhead Crane Operation Competition, aimed at strengthening safety and quality awareness among welders and overhead crane operators and enhancing the professional skill levels of these teams, kicked off in the Zhejiang regional division. On the evening of June 13 and the afternoon of June 14, the Zhejiang Company’s Binhai Manufacturing Center hosted the theoretical written exam and the practical skills competition, respectively. A total of 45 employees participated, including 18 frontline workers in the welding skills competition and 27 frontline workers in the overhead crane operation competition.
According to the competition schedule, at 5:20 p.m. on June 13, the 44 contestants were on time at the designated examination area in the temporary canteen of the Binhai Manufacturing Center to participate in the theoretical written‑exam draw. Following the draw, a brief opening ceremony was held, during which Wang Zhongyou, Vice Chairman of the Group Trade Union, delivered a speech on behalf of the union, urging all participants to perform at their best and achieve their desired results, while extending his best wishes for the competition’s complete success. After the invigilators had finished explaining the examination rules, the written test commenced. Each contestant remained calm and focused, answering questions diligently; even when faced with challenging problems, they refused to give up, carefully pondering each question in hopes of attaining strong results. Upon completion of the exam, the invigilators sealed the papers according to regulations and promptly began the marking process. Marking was conducted in pairs, with one scorer assigning marks and the other conducting a review. That evening, all marking was completed, and the exam papers were securely sealed.
The next day at 12:30 p.m., the welder and overhead crane practical‑skills competitions kicked off in full swing in the workshop of the Binhai Manufacturing Center, following the chief judges’ thorough briefing on the competition rules.
At the overhead crane operation competition, all 27 contestants demonstrated proficient crane‑handling skills; however, many still had minor deficiencies in adherence to operational standards, resulting in several point deductions. After nearly two hours of intense competition, the overhead crane event concluded. Concurrently, a welding‑skills contest was held. To ensure fairness, impartiality, and effectiveness, the chief judge invited Master Zhang Gaozhang—a blue‑collar expert who receives a special government allowance—and co‑judged the event alongside Jiang Ge, the company’s Zhejiang Province Chief Welding Technician. At the welding‑practice site, the 18 participants donned proper welder’s uniforms and personal protective equipment, with the competition divided into three groups. Each contestant thoughtfully planned their approach and meticulously crafted what they considered their finest welds. The three‑hour practical welding exam concluded successfully.
Following rigorous judging, total-score calculations, and ranking, the winners of first, second, and third place have been announced.
Following the conclusion of the hands-on competition, the Skills Competition Organizing Committee held an awards ceremony at 5:00 p.m. that same day. Jin Fei, Vice President of the Group and Chairman of the Trade Union, delivered an enthusiastic address, congratulating all on the event’s resounding success and expressing gratitude to every contestant as well as to the dedicated staff who worked tirelessly to make it possible. Chairman Jin emphasized that this skills competition has fostered a positive environment for showcasing expertise, highlighting professional excellence, strengthening core competencies, and driving development—thereby further inspiring employees to acquire new skills, hone their abilities, and achieve career success in their respective roles. It has also promoted the spirit of craftsmanship, fully leveraged the role of master‑craftsman studios, deepened the “Safety and Quality Month” initiative, and played a constructive part in supporting the high‑quality development of Yuegong.
Finally, Chairman Jin Fei presented awards to Feng Peiyang, the first-place winner of the welding skills competition, and Sun Tao, the first-place winner of the overhead crane operation competition, among others.
