What Is a Welder and What Do They Do?

A welder joins metal components using welding equipment and techniques, work that spans construction, manufacturing, marine and energy projects. Day-to-day work often includes reading technical drawings, preparing and positioning metal parts, operating welding equipment safely and checking finished work for strength and quality.

Welder Jobs FAQs

Hover or tap to expand:

What welding qualifications do I need?

Requirements vary by role and sector, but a recognised coded qualification, such as 135, 136 or 141, is often expected for coded welding work. We can advise on what a specific role needs.

Do you place contract or permanent welders?

Both. We work on temporary, contract and permanent welder jobs across marine, energy and construction.

What's the difference between MIG, TIG and FCAW welding?

MIG and TIG are different welding processes suited to different materials and finishes, while FCAW (flux-cored arc welding) is often used for thicker structural or site work. The right process depends on the job and material.

Can welders progress into other roles?

Yes. Welders often specialise in coded welding, move into inspection, or step up into supervision as they gain experience.

What sectors employ the most welders?

Marine, energy and construction currently have the strongest demand, though roles also exist in manufacturing, oil and gas, and rail.
