Features

Training to become a welding inspector begins like a normal welding course and progresses into learning about quality inspections of welds, either with visual clues or X-rays for thick welds. Fourteen months of training is required to fulfill the classification of welder and welding inspector.
Duties
-
A welding inspector is not just in charge of a few welds on one particular day. Normally, an inspector stays with a project from beginning to completion, verifying each weld as it is built.

Considerations
-
The American Welding Society certifies welding inspectors and their subsequent work, which is known statewide as well as abroad. That provides a successful career niche for welding inspectors with a steady, quality work ethic.
