They work on rigs, platforms, or subsea structures, ensuring that pipes meet safety and quality standards.

Welders typically live in shared accommodations provided by the employer, with access to meals and recreational facilities. Teamwork is a big part of daily life, as welders frequently collaborate with engineers, safety personnel, and other skilled trades.
