Welder Biodata Format for Job: Sample, Blank Form and Lines to Copy

A fabrication shop or a contractor hiring a welder reads a biodata for three things: which welding processes you can do, in which positions, and on what material. A general job biodata never asks for them. This format puts the process, position and qualification lines at the top, where the reader looks first.

When this format is the right one

Use it for a welder or fabricator post with a fabrication shop, a structural or pipeline contractor, a factory maintenance department, a shipyard or a PSU that asks for a biodata, and for an ITI Welder fresher applying for a first job or an apprenticeship.

Copy-ready lines for a welder biodata

Copy the lines that are true for you, replace every [bracket] and delete the rest. A welder is almost always given a test weld, so write only the processes and positions you can weld in front of the supervisor.

Certificate and qualification lines. Put them under your name

Write a welder qualification exactly as tested: process, position, material and date. If you have not taken a qualification test, write the processes and positions you have practised instead. Never a position you have not welded.

• ITI Welder (NCVT), [ITI name, district], [year] | NTC No. [number] | [XX]%
• Processes: [SMAW / MIG-MAG / TIG / gas cutting] | Positions: [1G, 2G, 3G / 6G pipe] | Material: [mild steel / stainless steel]
• Welder qualification: [SMAW] [3G] on [carbon steel plate], tested at [company / institute], [Month Year]
• Apprenticeship: Welder, [company], [X] months | NAC No. [number]

Work lines. Pick the work you have done

• Structural fabrication: beams, columns, trusses and platforms from drawings; fillet and butt welds in [mild steel].
• Pipe welding: [carbon steel] pipe in [5G / 6G], root and cap; joints passed [radiography / visual inspection].
• Maintenance welding in a plant: repairs to frames, chutes, guards and machine parts during shutdowns.
• Gas and plasma cutting of plates and sections to marked lines; edge preparation for butt joints.
• Read fabrication drawings and weld symbols; checked fit-up before welding.
• Worked under hot-work permits with fire watch; no fire or injury incident in [X] years.

Career objective lines

• ITI Welder (NCVT, [year]) seeking a welder post in [fabrication / maintenance], able to do SMAW and gas cutting in [1G to 3G] positions.
• Welder with [6] years in structural and pipe fabrication, qualified in [SMAW 6G], seeking a welder job on [plant / pipeline] projects.
• ITI Welder fresher with [12] months' apprenticeship at [company], seeking a first job as welder or fabricator; ready for site work and shifts.

Blank welder biodata form. Copy into Word

Select the form, copy it into Word or Google Docs, and fill the blanks. Keep a monospaced font such as Courier New so the colons stay lined up, then print it on A4.

What to get right

• Put processes, positions and materials directly under your name.
• Write any welder qualification exactly as tested: process, position, material, date.

• Name the kind of fabrication (structural, pipe, maintenance) for each employer.
• For a fresher, list the joints and positions welded in the ITI workshop and the apprenticeship.
• Sign the declaration in ink and carry the original certificates.
