What is a combo rig welder?

Combo Rig Welders are skilled tradespeople who specialize in welding various types of pipes and structural components, often in the oil and gas industry. They are called 'combo' welders because they are proficient in multiple welding processes, such as TIG (GTAW) and Stick (SMAW), and can work with different materials like carbon steel and stainless steel. These welders typically operate on job sites using portable rigs, allowing them to perform welding tasks in the field. Their work is essential for constructing and maintaining pipelines, pressure vessels, and related infrastructure. Combo Rig Welders must adhere to strict safety and quality standards to ensure the integrity of their welds.
