Certifications this posting mentions

  • AWS D1.1 — the American Welding Society's Structural Welding Code for steel. It governs almost all building and structural steel work in the US, so a D1.1 qualification is the baseline credential for construction and ironworking.
  • AWS D1.5 — the Bridge Welding Code, jointly published by AWS and AASHTO. It is stricter than D1.1 on fracture toughness and inspection, and is required on most state and federal bridge work.

Read straight from this posting's text. Confirm the exact qualification the employer wants before you test — requirements vary by shop even under the same code.
