I'm a Pipe and Structural welder
I'm certified on SMAW, C02 FCAW, MIG welding from 1G to 6GR... The problem in Nigeria is the local contractors, how can you say you'll pay me 25k per day, when in Delevoped countries welders earned that much per joint.

But as work no dey... You just have to go along

Look up a company called Les energy online.
They are always recruiting.

stephenponti:


Me too wants to learn this vocation. Any chance. I have the time. I am in Lagos. i can relocate to learn.

Perfecttouch:
I do tig, mig and arc welding but I don't have a professional certificate yet

Man, hit me up for a link for MIG , TIG and even Welding and Fabrication Professional Diplomas.

ignis:


See see finish

No be see finish matter nah .

Dem know codes?

Most of these street-taught artisans don't know these things.

Learnt roadside welding in my JSS years and did welding and fabrication in my SS years both in my SSCE and NECO, currently studing Materials And Metallurgical Engineering [ just wrote my penultimate exam on Joining and Welding Technique and Corrosion science and engineering ] hope i am free to join?

Can you teach someone? I'm a recent graduate of Metallurgy.

Where is this school located? How can one join this school?

which school? The one abt materials and metallurgical eng?

It is not about see finish but the truth. A road side welder or iron bender cannot tell you the composition of an E7018 welding rod but they can use it in whatever they do. They don't know what porosity is or other weld defects. They don't know that E7018 welding rods needs to be baked to a temperature of not below 250°f. Moreover, most if not all roadside welders don't know any other welding processes beside SMAW. I stand to be corrected on that.

samuel19222:
Nah Hyperbaric welding i wan learn

You will have to become a commercial diver first.

slawormiir:
Damnnn niggar

How do you guys cope with that oxyacetylene flame

Not to talk of the shining light that comes along with it that damage the eye

Trust me brother, it is way more fun when compared to wasting your time sitting at home and trying to scam people.

Pipe welding is fun.. Though its not easy to learn these codes of Welding..
You can ask anything 08138298179

Call me when you're done so I can do VT on that, flag for NDE and do weld mapping

I would advice you to shine your beacon on Non-destructive testing or being a welding inspector. Your knowledge of materials would be better put to use there and if you can acquire the right tickets, you would go far. You have basic knowledge of welding and that, combined with your knowledge of metallurgy would really help you. I do basically all types of welding but would pick inspection over welding any day. There's a career path for you too, you could move into more indepth quality control and maybe one day, find yourself in a Quality Assurance role.

ok,thanks very much for the advice.But how do i go abt this?

Graphite carbon raiser has many advantages and important functions in casting. It is a good inoculant and spheroidizing agent, and its price is more advantageous than other smelting materials. Therefore, it is more favored by various casting manufacturers.

Stop capping shit dude
I would have preferred to go on explaining shit with your kind but dude it's not worth it cos I've met alot of you with this shitty mindset and I've come to realize that this is just a way to raise your self esteem since you never felt proud of the trade name.

There is no need to be bitter about anything. If you have a contrary opinion let us know why you think there is no difference between a certified welder and a roadside iron bender.

Bitter huh? I think you're mistaken dude
With my little experience in this trade dude I realized no matter where you find yourself one has to respect others expertise by not looking down or talking shit about their job.
Over the years I've worked with diff industrial welders and what I've realized is that our skills and expertise are way different.
Same way a normal welder becomes helpless when exposed to industrial jobs same way an industrial welder becomes after being told to work on home fabrication jobs especially custom welding projects.
You talked about iron workers, I think you need to get yourself educated about that trade cos it's a different trade entirely.
Even after been opportuned to work in many industrial welding companies at my teenage years, I felt it ain't my way, so I had to find my way back to what I've been doing before, cos I wasn't allowed to be creative as I want to.
So dude welders of different skills aside from industrial welders are no way inferior to them, we're all with different skills and each and everyone ought to be respected.

Criteria:
Are you an experienced welder or pipe fitter?
Do you have evidence to show you have worked in a welding or pipefitting job?
Do you have a clean employment record with no criminal record?
Do you wish to pursue that opportunity?

Let's connect.
