Offshore and Marine Welding FAQs

Hover or tap to expand:

What certifications are needed for offshore welding?

Offshore welders typically need coding for their process alongside safety training such as BOSIET and a valid offshore medical certificate. Requirements vary by client and contract.

Do you place underwater welders?

Yes, on a specialist basis. Underwater welding combines a diving qualification with welding certification, so we work with candidates who hold both when briefs call for it.

What is BOSIET training?

BOSIET stands for Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training, covering safety induction and emergency response for anyone working offshore, including helicopter escape training.

Do you place contract or permanent offshore welders?

Both. We work on contract and permanent offshore and marine welding roles across the UK.

What welding processes do you cover offshore?

We recruit coded welders across MIG, TIG and FCAW processes for offshore, oil and gas, and marine roles.

Can offshore welders progress into other roles?

Yes. Offshore welders often move into welding inspection, supervision or specialist project work as they build experience.
