Welders work in diverse environments, some of that depends on their specialty and skill level. Many welders work in fabrication and manufacturing facilities in production and maintenance positions. Many work in the construction of buildings, pipeline, pressure vessels and specialized equipment repair so they spend their time traveling around the country and the world. Underwater welding is a niche profession and again keeps the welder traveling.

Daniel’s Answer
Welders have the opportunity to work in a variety of locations. They could be doing custom work in a cozy garage, or even underwater off a beautiful coast. They might be braving the cold to work on pipelines, or operating in a bustling factory. If you can imagine it, there's likely a place where welders can ply their trade. The opportunities can largely depend on your geographical location. For instance, in the Midwest where I'm based, welders can usually be found in big cities doing structural welding, or in busy factory shops. The world of welding truly spans the globe. I hope this gives you a bit of insight.
