Notes
Oregon does not require a statewide occupational license for general welders. The Oregon Construction Contractors Board does not issue a welder-specific individual license. Welding contractors must be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (https://www.oregon.gov/ccb/). Boiler and pressure vessel welding is regulated by Oregon OSHA and the Department of Consumer and Business Services.
