For international employers · Skilled Trades
Welding is one of the trades Pakistan supplies best, and one of the hardest for employers to fill reliably. Falisha Manpower recruits coded, trade-tested welders from across Pakistan for oil & gas, EPC, construction, shipbuilding, fabrication and power projects — from a single 6G pipe welder to a complete welding crew for a shutdown or a new facility. As a BEOE-licensed Overseas Employment Promoter (OEP Licence No. 4035), we handle the full pathway: sourcing, trade testing, medicals, visa processing and Protector of Emigrants clearance, so your welders arrive on site ready to pass the client’s witness test.
Pakistan has a deep, continuously renewed welding workforce. Many are trained through TEVTA and NAVTTC institutes and the Gulf’s own contractor academies, and a large share are returning Gulf hands who have already welded on ARAMCO, ADNOC, QatarEnergy and major EPC sites to ASME and AWS codes. That matters to an employer: you are not training a welder from scratch — you are hiring someone who already understands WPS-controlled welding, fit-up tolerances, NDT and Gulf site discipline.
We match welders to your Welding Procedure Specification (WPS), not just a job title. Tell us the process (GTAW/SMAW/GMAW/FCAW), the position (up to 6G/6GR), the base metals (carbon steel, stainless, alloy, aluminium) and the governing code, and we shortlist welders who already hold — or can re-qualify to — exactly that coding, then trade-test them before you ever interview.
What we supply
Matched to your exact specification and project requirement — not just a job title.
All-position pipe welders for process piping, pipelines and pressure work — the most in-demand and best-paid welding coding in the Gulf.
High-quality root and fill welders for stainless, alloy and thin-wall pipe — instrumentation, utilities and pharma-grade work.
Semi-automatic welders for structural steel, fabrication shops and high-deposition production work.
Shielded metal arc welders for structural, piping and site work across carbon and low-alloy steels.
Flux-cored welders for heavy structural steel, offshore modules and shipbuilding.
Welders to AWS D1.1 for buildings, bridges, towers, platforms and steel structures.
ASME-coded welders for vessels, tanks, headers and boiler work under NDT inspection.
Specialist welders for stainless steel, duplex, aluminium and non-ferrous fabrication.
Combined fit-up-and-weld tradesmen for spool fabrication shops and modular yards.
Hull, block and outfitting welders for shipyards and offshore fabrication.
Standards
We qualify and trade-test candidates against the exact standard your project is governed by.
Welder Performance Qualification for pressure piping and vessels — the Gulf oil & gas standard.
Structural Welding Code (steel) for buildings, bridges and structural fabrication.
Welding of pipelines and related facilities for cross-country and plant pipework.
International qualification testing of welders — widely accepted for European projects.
We qualify welders to your specific Welding Procedure Specification and Procedure Qualification Record.
Welders experienced with Radiographic (RT) and Ultrasonic (UT) testing and high first-time pass rates.
How it works
You evaluate proven tradespeople — tested before you interview, verified before they travel.
We verify trade background, prior Gulf/EPC project experience, existing welder certificates and WPQ records against your requirement.
Welders complete a hands-on coupon in the required process and position (e.g. 6G) before shortlisting — you only interview welders who can already weld to spec.
Test welds are visually inspected and can be radiographed (RT) or bend-tested to confirm quality, not just appearance.
Your inspector, consultant or a third-party agency can witness the trade test in Pakistan, in person or by video.
Selected welders complete the Gulf-approved (GAMCA/Wafid) medical for a fit-to-work certificate.
We process the work visa, attestation, Protector of Emigrants clearance and travel so the welder arrives ready to re-test on site.
Why Pakistan
A continuously renewed workforce trained through TEVTA/NAVTTC and Gulf contractor academies, with many welders already coded to ASME and AWS.
A high proportion are returning Gulf hands who understand WPS-controlled welding, fit-up, NDT and site HSE discipline.
Practical coupon tests and NDT verification mean you evaluate proven welders, not CVs — cutting failed on-site re-tests.
Competitive, transparent cost for genuinely coded welders, with no worker-charged illegal fees under BEOE rules.
Where they work
Indicative pay
Indicative Gulf market ranges in Saudi Riyals per month, typically with employer-provided accommodation, transport and food or allowances. Actual pay depends on coding, NDT pass history, project and the contract you offer — the figure that matters is the basic salary written in the employment contract.
Where we deploy
Subject to active employer demand, recruitment permissions and destination-country requirements.
Destinations vary by active employer demand and destination-country requirements.
FAQ
Share your requirement — role, numbers, coding/spec, destination and timeline — and we’ll source, trade-test and mobilise to your standard. One accountable, BEOE-licensed partner (OEP 4035).
