The welder occupation plays a crucial role across various industries including aerospace, construction, defence, marine, and structural engineering.

Welders use a range of manual and mechanised welding processes, such as TIG, MIG, and arc welding, to join metals and produce high-quality engineered goods and assets.

Welders collaborate with other teams like fabricators and quality control technicians to ensure that welding projects meet industry standards for quality, safety, and sustainability. Adhering to strict health and safety regulations, welders contribute significantly to projects requiring precision and expertise while minimizing waste and promoting environmental sustainability.
