Hello,

I’ve got 3 years of experience in sanitary welding with a welding technology certification I obtained in Missouri, USA, through a community college, and I wanted to move to the UK to continue my career. I was wondering what type of steps or qualifications I would need. I’m aware I would need to find an employer that can sponsor me, I’m not sure how challenging that would be, so I would like to find out more if anyone else has taken this route. Thank you

Hello,

We want to speak to them on why they chose to go to trade school in those location and what was the thinking behind chose once school over other.

Compensation is 100/hr to take call with my client.

Please DM if you have and want to speak about your experience.

I would like to get specific exposure hard facing. However, there does not appear to be a shop near me which specializes in that.

I’ve considered buying a bucket and weld rods to develop a portfolio of sorts and solicit excavation and concrete companies for work.

Anyone else ever penetrate into a new skill or market?

I have about 6 years experience, a welder, but no other means to move the buckets unless I spring for a crane system of some sort.

Anyway, I’d appreciate any feedback!

Hello everyone, i am currently looking for employment as a welder. I have experience in Stick, Mig, & Tig. As well as a bit of oxy-fuel cutting. Please do let me know if anyone is hiring or please send me a message so i can send you my resume and cover letter if interested.

Thank you in advance to those reaching out!

Any tips or tricks for me while I look for a job? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I am looking for an entry level welding job, preferably in structural stick welding. I have taken 2 fundamentals courses that covered oxy-fuel, MIG, TIG and stick. I have also taken an intermediate stick welding course. I have D1.1 SMAW certification and certificates of completion for the courses I listed.

Every time I lookup "entry level welding job" or "welding apprenticeship" I see job posts that say "no experience needed" but when I further look into that job it requires experience (typically it says 1-3yrs). Any specific way I should word my searches when looking for an entry level welding job?

I’m a 19 year old who had 3 years of welding and fabrication experience at the Frisco Career Technical Institute and I decided not to go to trade school, I’m looking into apprenticeship and welding unions what are my best options.

Hello everyone,

I have a question for the experienced professionals here. How does welding really affect health? There are a lot of opinions out there, each one different. I'm asking here because this group consists specifically of welders who know their trade better than anyone else. Opinions on the internet will vary, but here I am confident that everyone knows what they're talking about, rather than just saying "I don't know, I haven't worked in this field, but from what I've heard..."

I'm 19 years old and I'm looking for a well-paid physical job. Welding is the main profession I'd like to learn.

I just graduated high school with a couple of certs but I don’t really know how to do the stuff there asking for around here. I can do stick welding but I don’t know how to get a job. Any advice or places I should look for apprenticeships or helper jobs?

I’m about to start trade school at Lincoln tech and it’s pretty expensive and I have to do it by myself I’m 23 I don’t know any welders so I don’t really know who to ask but I just want to know if welding is worth it I love being hands on so I’m not worried about that I’m more questioning is the money good in welding as far as will it help with being able to pay off school of some people can help with some insight thank you ! #welding #weldinginsight

Hello! I'm just weighing out some career options, and just want to know how hard it is, and even HOW to get into welding. I'm 15, so not like im going to apply for anything now, but just curious as to what like certifications are desired in the field and the ones that can help you get hired? I'm in Texas, if that helps any, and do yall think that it would benefit me to get a cheap welding little rig for me to learn welding and just mess around with it? I would like to pursue welding, but RIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL ! Curious as to how that can be done, and really just want I need to do !

Thanks.

Edit: Also, does welding pay good as of now? Do any of yall think it will still pay good in the next 3-6 years?

I’m using the IPG LightWeld XR for mig on steel 0.45” wire and need a thicker (higher), wider weld. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

So i got hired on the spot just the other day for this company that does MIG welding, they do parts for caterpillar and roofing. I did a weld test and didn’t do my best but it was decent. They asked what i was looking for in pay and i think i may have asked too little. I was afraid to ask for too much so i went with 18 to be safe but now i feel like i fucked myself over. I’ve never worked in a shop before and the only experience i have is from a community college class i took for about 5 months. Do y’all think 18 an hour paid weekly is decent or should i look into something more?

I passed the codes but the welding plans are a little difficult. How can I get better at reading welding plans.

Does anyone know anywhere around the Austin and surrounding areas looking to hire structural welders?

I’m currently making $31/hr on 1099 but I’ve only been getting 20-30 hrs weekly. Looking for something $28+ with OT , I also have a rig I don’t mind putting to work as well. I appreciate any leads 🤙🏽

Hey guys so I live in Texas and am about to go to Missouri welding institute and I have a job lined up in Kansas but it only pays 20 an hour and I am wondering if I am going to squander my first for years

So I’m enrolled in tech school on the fall for CNC machining, but I’m also interested in welding. Is there a point to do both or no?

Hello, looking to move to the panhandle, wondering if anyone works in the panhandle and makes good money? I currently work in a shop in Missouri and make $28 an hour. would be open to shop or anything as long as the money stays near what i’m making now. Thanks

Hi there,

I am simply an artist with no experiences with cars or anything of the sort, but I am currently creating a story with my boyfriend. I'm considering to include a character who is in the auto welding business and want to make it as realistic as possible. I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but please let me know some things if applicable (and sorry if the questions seem stupid):

• What is your job like? How is the schedule and pay?
• How difficult is the industry? How was it getting into an entry level job?
• How exhausted do you get during and after work?
• What kind of clients do you handle? Any interesting stories?
• How has your job affected your daily life and your perspective on life in general?

Thank you so much

If I fail my welding red seal twice? Do I need to redo my 3 month B level course again?

I have currently been a jeweler for several years. I love the craft and creativity, but the company I work for is soul sucking. So I'm considering changing fields to become a welder. I've always been interested in it but not had a chance to explore my options.

How do I start out getting into the feild? Preferably I would like a paid apprenticeship if possible; since I would have to still work if I had to do unpaid classes. I'm a good multitasker and a very quick learner. As a jeweler I worked my way up from starting as an apprentice to the highest skill set in 3 years (which is extremely rare) because I am really dedicated and pick up skills quickly. I think I'm good at applying that mentally to all my jobs realistically. What should I look out for going into the field?
