A certificate supports experience; it does not replace it

Current certificates
A valid certificate is useful and should be mentioned during screening.
Expired certificates
An expired certificate can still show earlier qualification and relevant experience.
Practical welding test
A project may require a skills test. If it does, we explain the task and format before travel.
Project induction
The site explains its organisation, safety rules and work process; you must already know the welding trade.

Questions welders usually ask
Which welding processes are currently most relevant?
MIG/MAG and processes 135 / 136 are the priority for the current work. The material, position and project procedure are clarified during screening.
Do I need shipyard experience?
Shipyard experience is a strong advantage. Relevant structural-steel experience may also be reviewed when the practical work is comparable.
Should I apply if my certificate has expired?
Yes. An expired certificate can still support your work history. The project may later require a current certificate or a new skills check.
Which certificate must be valid before work starts?
That depends on the specific project and welding task. We confirm the exact document requirement before formalities.
Could I be asked to take a welding test?
Yes. A practical test may be required depending on the project. Its task and format are explained before travel.
Do I need German?
There is no single language requirement for every project. We check whether communication is sufficient for the team, technical task and safety instructions.
Can I apply without a CV?
Yes. Your name, phone number and a practical description of your welding experience are enough for the first conversation.
When will I know the exact rate and schedule?
The current offer starts from €18 net per hour. Your exact rate, working time and any project-specific details are explained before formalities.
