ABOUT WELDING COORDINATORS
Welding coordinators are integral people in the field of welding, playing pivotal roles in ensuring the quality, safety, and efficiency of welding operations. These professionals are essential for organisations and projects of all sizes, as they oversee and manage various aspects of welding activities. At the Southern African Institute of Welding (SAIW), we recognise the significance of these roles and offer specialised training programmes to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary for their success.
