High Pressure Welder

Pressure welders weld piping and equipment operating at high pressures with great precision and efficiency. These specialized welders carry out preparatory work for high-pressure welding, repair welded seams on piping, and use various welding processes: shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), semi-automatic welding (GMAW), etc. It is a demanding but rewarding occupation requiring good visual acuity and excellent manual dexterity. This job is suited to people who are responsible and perfectionists.
