“We’ve been working on government contracts for the last three or four years,” said Saleem. “The Victorian Government now requires AS/NZS 5131 CC3 for new contracts. We needed that certification in place to proceed. It was a very easy process for us. Weld Australia was very helpful. They gave us the right feedback at the right time to achieve certification quickly. It was a very smooth process.”

MAJID SALEEM QUALITY MANAGER AND RESPONSIBLE WELDING COORDINATOR, JS METAL ENGINEERING

“That’s why we chose Weld Australia for our combined AS/NZS ISO 3834, AS/NZS 5131, EN 15085 and DIN 2303 certification. Weld Australia’s audit process stands out. Their team brings an exceptional level of knowledge and real-world industry experience that you don’t often see. The auditors don’t just check compliance. They work with you to identify practical improvements that enhance your systems and operations.”

JASON ELIAS CEO, PRECISION METAL GROUP

“Joe, Guy and the broader Weld Australia team have been a pleasure to work with, offering exceptional support and flexibility to meet the logistical and cultural nuances that come with organising a training initiative outside of Australia, without compromising on quality or the integrity of their IWI-B offering.”

SEAN LAVIN LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT ADVISOR, MONADELPHOUS

“Working with Weld Australia has been really good—it’s been a really positive experience. All of Weld Australia’s team members have been really responsive and great to work with. We’re looking forward to an ongoing strategic relationship with Weld Australia, and working together on other programs and initiatives.”

TIM WILSON CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, ATNZ

“CS Energy has been corporate members of Weld Australia for some time now—already being a member when I started in my current role as Asset Integrity Specialist two years ago. The company was already a part of Weld Australia’s Power Generation Group, which is made up of power station operators and maintainers from around Australia. This includes sub-groups for different focuses such as Process Safety, Asset Integrity and PG9 (welding).”
