About: Welder

Welding, quite simply, is the art of using heat to join metals or thermoplastics together. In our modern world, welding pretty much keeps our metallic infrastructure together. Welders work everywhere: under water, on bridges, in manufacturing facilities and on top of skyscrapers. Although maritime welding can also refer to the job a commercial welder-diver will do on offshore oil rigs, it most commonly describes a job required in building ships and boats, as well as the repair of their metal structures and parts.

The Welder in an offshore rig carries out repair jobs and maintenance work which require welding and/or cutting by oxygen/ acetylene equipment. At all times, the Welder must ensure that all jobs are carried out with the necessary approvals and postings.
