Welding is one of the most in-demand and best-paid trades on every major construction, oil & gas and fabrication project in the Gulf — and Pakistan is one of the world's most reliable sources of skilled welders. At Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment, we've spent 16 years supplying trade-tested welders to contractors across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Europe.

What separates a good welder from an expensive mistake is certification and a passed test. Every welder we put forward has been tested in the exact process and position you need before reaching your site, so you never pay to discover that someone can't hold a 6G root — we check first.

Specializations

Welders we place.

Testing & Certification

Screened before you see a CV.

A certificate is only worth the test behind it. We test in the exact process (TIG, MIG or arc) and position (1G to 6G) you need, and can arrange third-party or client-witnessed tests.

The Data

A large, proven pool of workers.

Pakistan has registered 182,706 welders for work abroad, within a skilled-trades workforce of 6.2 million that has gone overseas since 1971. The pool keeps renewing itself, as welders are trained continuously and rotate through Gulf projects. See the full Pakistan Overseas Employment Report.

Destinations

Countries we send workers to.

Most welders we place go to oil & gas, EPC and fabrication clients in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain, and to industrial fabricators in Europe such as Romania. Tell us the country and we will confirm whether the route is open and the lead time.

Our Process

Licensed from first call to arrival.

As a BEOE-licensed Overseas Employment Promoter (OEP 2868/RWP), we handle the entire pipeline — you receive job-ready, trade-tested workers, legally processed.

What's Included

One fee structure, start to finish.

When you hire Pakistani welders through Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment, the agreed per-worker cost covers the complete journey from shortlist to site — there are no surprise add-ons appearing mid-deployment:

Licensed & Ethical

Why work with a licensed OEP.

Any recruitment of Pakistani welders from Pakistan must legally go through a BEOE-licensed Overseas Employment Promoter and be cleared by the Protectorate of Emigrants. Using an unlicensed agent exposes employers to non-compliant deployments, document problems and reputational risk. Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment is a licensed OEP (2868/RWP), ISO 9001:2015, operating since 2010.

Our licence is not bureaucracy; it protects you. It means every worker is documented, medically cleared and processed lawfully, that recruitment is ethical and open, and that a traceable, accountable company stands behind each deployment if anything needs sorting out. For a serious employer, working with a licensed promoter is what separates dependable staff from a liability.

FAQ

Questions we hear often.

Do your welders hold 6G certification?

We supply welders for every position. Our 6G pipe welders are tested for all-position work, and we confirm their certification and can set up a witnessed test before deployment.

Can we witness the welding test ourselves?

Yes. We can arrange independent or client-witnessed tests (ASME IX or AWS-style) so you approve the actual test coupon before the welder travels.

How many welders can you provide at one time?

Anything from a few welders for a small fabrication shop to large numbers for a shutdown or turnaround — our network scales to big orders.

Where do you place welders?

Mostly Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Europe, including Romania. We confirm availability for each route.

How long does it normally take?

Once the role and test requirements are agreed, tested shortlists follow quickly; the full visa, medical and Protectorate process depends on the destination country.

What do we need from you to begin?

A job description, number of people, destination country and timing. We then confirm feasibility, the indicative cost per worker and the lead time before anything goes ahead.

Are workers ever charged unlawful fees?

No. We are a licensed Overseas Employment Promoter under BEOE rules. Employer charges are quoted openly, and we do not accept illegal fees from workers — ethical recruitment protects you as well as them.

What happens if a worker isn't right for the job after arrival?

We remain in contact after deployment and arrange replacements on the terms agreed at the start, so one unsuitable hire doesn't leave you short.
