MIG / MAG Welder

Introduction

Are you an experienced welder looking for a stable, well-paid job in a top international company? At Sif, you’ll help build massive steel structures for offshore wind farms. 

What are you going to do?

As a MIG / MAG Welder, you’ll work on large-diameter steel pipes and complex offshore structures. The welding processes used vary depending on project requirements. Your work will involve:

• Reading technical drawings and following work instructions
• Preparing and setting up welding equipment
• Checking materials and measurements
• Performing welds using MIG/MAG and/or electrode (111)
• Recording your work on route cards
• Repairing welding faults to standard
• Using hand tools, grinders, and lifting tools
• Maintaining a clean and safe workspace

Important: This role typically involves pipe welding. Depending on the project, one or more of the following welding combinations may be required:

• MIG/MAG 136 + electrode 111
• MIG/MAG 138 + electrode 111
• Electrode 111 only

You do not need to master all combinations. If you are skilled in any one of the above, you are encouraged to apply. You may be placed immediately or waitlisted until a suitable position becomes available — demand is constant, and matching needs evolve by project.
