Frequently Asked Questions for Welders
1. Do I need my own welding equipment and PPE?
For the vast majority of assignments, all specialist welding equipment (welders, gas, etc.) and primary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like helmets, jackets, and gloves are provided by the client. We always confirm this during the briefing. You may be expected to bring your own basic hand tools (spanners, clamps, measuring tape) and safety boots.
2. What's the difference between a temporary and a temp-to-perm role?
A temporary role is for a fixed period or to cover a specific project. A temp-to-perm (or"temp-perm") role starts as a temporary assignment with the clear intention from both the employer and the agency that if you perform well and fit into the team, you will be offered a permanent contract directly with the company after a trial period. This is a fantastic low-risk way for both parties to ensure it's a good long-term match.
3. I have City & Guilds qualifications but no coded tickets. Can I still apply?
Absolutely. While coded welding certifications (e.g., to BS EN ISO 9606) are highly valuable and command premium rates, many fabrication shops and manufacturers require skilled, all-round Welder / Fabricators for non-coded work. Your City & Guilds or NVQ qualifications prove your core competence. We have many roles suited to your skill level. Discuss your experience with our consultant to find the right match.
4. How quickly can I start working after applying?
For immediate start roles, the process can be very fast. Once we receive your application and have a quick phone screening, we can often submit your CV to the client the same day. Interviews may be arranged within 24 48 hours, and starts can happen within the week, depending on the client's onboarding checks. We specialise in fast placement solutions.
5. Does Staffing Agency offer roles for other trades like Physiotherapists or Pastoral roles?
Yes, Staffing Agency is a multi-sector specialist. While this page focuses on Welder / Fabricator jobs, we also recruit for a wide range of professions. For instance, we have dedicated teams placing Physiotherapist roles in healthcare settings and Pastoral / Behaviour Mentor positions within schools. You can explore all our sectors on our main jobs board.
