Do you enjoy welding – but aren’t satisfied with the salary you can make as a topside welder? Are you looking for career potential and opportunities for advancement? Wet welding is a perfect solution!

Wet welding careers include work on:

• Oil Rigs. Underwater construction jobs and underwater welding opportunities are common on offshore oil rigs with their submersed structures and miles of underwater pipe lines.
• Salvage. Wet welding skills are frequently required during salvage work: both to shore up and burn down dilapidated structures.
• Ship Husbandry and Shipyards. Divers regularly perform wet welding on sea-going vessels that are impossible or inconvenient to dry dock, and carry out underwater construction jobs in shipyards. 
• Civil Engineering. Bridges, tunnels, and dams are in constant need of wet welding expertise, and often involve underwater welding and underwater construction jobs. Every structure on and under the water requires regular inspection and maintenance, as well as occasional emergency repair work.
• Hazmat Diving. Wet welding is vital to repairing damaged pipelines and valves to control and contain oil spills, and further pollution control work. 

And that is just a sample of the wet welding careers that are available! The opportunities for wet welding are literally limitless, spanning many industries and including repair, service, maintenance, and underwater construction jobs.

In all cases, commercial divers with expertise in wet welding are in heavy demand, since wet welding is a highly-skilled trade. Wet welders have to contend with water pressure, poor visibility, unpredictable currents, and safety issues. They need to be in top physical and mental condition, able to address any obstacles with confidence, skill, and speed. Because of this, companies are willing to reward wet welding commercial divers with top salaries and career advancement.

When you are in a wet welding and underwater construction job, excitement and adventure will be part of your daily diet – as will the personal satisfaction of knowing that you are an expert in a demanding and rewarding field!
