Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a fabricator and a welder?

A fabricator prepares, cuts, bends and fits the metal to the drawing; a welder joins it. Many workers do both, and multi-skilled fabricator-welders are in the highest demand.

Do fabrication & sheet metal worker jobs exist in the Gulf?

Yes — structural and piping fabricators are among the most recruited trades for UAE, Saudi and Qatar projects. A trade test and a valid passport are the usual requirements.
