Bilfinger UK have a requirement for Welders to be based on Hinkley Point C on a permanent basis

Welders use a fabrication process that joins or fuses materials by melting the work pieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to become a strong joint.

Welding is the process of heating and melting metal parts to join them together permanently. Welding is also used to join beams when constructing bridges and buildings. Some welders are cutters, using their tools to cut metal into pieces, as required by a blueprint or design or to cut structures into pieces so they can be discarded.
As a Welder, you may work with more than a hundred methods of welding, which use electricity or various gasses to create the high temperatures that bond metals. Arc welding, which can be done either by hand or by machine, is the most common form. In this method, an arc, or electric current, is run through the pieces to be joined as
well as a thin welding rod. When the rod touches the metal pieces, a powerful electrical circuit is formed. The high-temperature heat that this produces melts the edges of the metal and the welding rod together. Then the melted metal solidifies to make a strong connection. The type of welding rod used depends on the properties of the metals to be joined and the strength needed for the weld.

Role Qualifications:

• Level 3 Pipe Welder Apprenticeship or equivalent Apprenticeship in a Welding discipline or Welding Engineering Construction Pipework or Welding Engineering Construction Plate
• CCNSG
