@markmathisen57087 жыл бұрын
Solid advice. These are the exact things you need to go out on the road. As far as all yall green young bucks asking how to get hooked up with a welder, go work some shop jobs as a laborer/helper/floor sweeper and start talking/networking with the welders. I used to work a year on the road and then come back home and work shop jobs just to see my friends and family for the holidays and "take time off". Even if that welder is working in the shop I promise he knows where you can get a job out in the field or even might take you with him. The old timers are the best. Talk to them and listen to every single word they have to say. That's how I got out on the road. Now I've got his book with every single contact he's ever made over 40 years worth of welding. All I have to say usually is, "this guy told me to call you" and they say, "well if he taught you we know you're good then". But just as the same as Austin said, I can promise you if you're always late, bad attitude, lazy, and a know it all you aren't coming out into the field with me. I can promise yall those good attributes Austin mentioned will get you further in this industry then any welding rig truck will. As far as pay it just depends on the particular job. At least you arent making minimum wage making McFlurries at the golden arches. Hope this helps.

I just started as a Welders helper, earning twice what I was in other jobs and had no experience. Just referred by a friend. You need Construction Industry Card, Manual Handling Certificate, Abrasive Wheels certificate just to get on the job, then steel toe cap boots, work trousers, long sleeves, companies should provide personal protective equipment but if not then hard hat and visor or welders helmet, luminous vests, thick gloves, Stanley blade to cut off end caps, hand file, grinders if not supplied, wax temperature pen, sunglasses or eye protection.

Austin a few weeks ago I followed a rig welder a few blocks. We couldn't talk long, so after words I left a card on his window if he ever needed a helper. As someone with a lil experience but wanting to get into it the right way would you say I'm on the right track. Just doing what I can to meet rig welders and trying to be a helper, I actually have all the things I need like you said now. Just trying to make that transition, any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks.
@arosswelding7 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure how we will take it because I have called a guy to help me that I met in a hotel parking lot before so it can happen. Trying to make meaningful contacts and build relationships. Welders get hounded for work by people who are already helpers and welder when they are desperate. Don't be just like everyone else and resort to begging. Keep it professional. Actually want to build relationships with good guys in the field. Deploy some patience and you WILL get in there when the time is right. Just stay ready and it will happen.

I have been trying to get into Pipeline union for about 5 months, I have been networking, and calling numbers, I want a straight to the point answer, no beating around the bush, HOW DO I BECOME A WELDERS HELPER? Not what I need, but WHO I need to call, and when I need to call? I’m not trying to be rude. I’m just trying and can’t get anywhere, and I’m trying not to give up but the more calls I make the more I feel like giving up. I go in circles, I was told to call back in March and they will get me in and now they told me to call back in may or June. I don’t know what to do. I need numbers. I have a black book in my truck that I keep all of my numbers in. I have Jacob Schofield’s number and we have talked to each-other and he has helped me. I want to be on the pipeline more than anything I have ever wanted. That’s why I haven’t given up... I just need some help
