The Principal Welding Engineer is responsible for interpreting internal or external business issues and recommending best practices. They will be tasked with solving complex Welding-related problems and will work independently with minimal guidance. The Principal Welding Engineer may be responsible for leading functional teams or projects and is regarded as a specialist in Welding. As such, they must have in-depth expertise in Welding as well as broad knowledge of the Welding discipline within the Engineering function.

Our ingenuity fuels daily life. Together, we've forged some of the most trusted partnerships across the energy value chain to make what was once just an idea a reality: laying subsea infrastructure thousands of feet below sea level, installing platforms hundreds of miles from shore, using our expertise to design and build offshore wind infrastructure, and reshaping the onshore landscape to deliver the energy products the world needs safely and sustainably.

For more than 100 years, we've been making the impossible possible. Today, we're driving the energy transition with more than 30,000 of the brightest minds across 54 countries.
