Pull the current NYSDOT approved field welder list to confirm a specific welder is authorized for a New York State bridge/structural steel contract

Steps

1. Go to the NYSDOT Field Welder Information page at dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/structures/engineering/approved-field-welder-list
2. Locate the current dated Approved Field Welder List (published periodically as an HTML or PDF file in the structures repository, e.g. a mid-2024 update) rather than an older cached copy, since the list is refreshed on a rolling basis
3. Cross-check the welder's name against the list and note the specific procedure/position/process qualification shown, since NYSDOT certification is scoped per procedure and position, not a blanket 'certified' status
4. Review the NYSDOT Field Welder Certification Program document and Field Welder Qualification Process brochure on the same repository to confirm how a welder gets added or renewed on the list
5. If the welder is not on the current list, do not assume they are ineligible — check the publish date of the list against any recent qualification test, and contact the relevant NYSDOT regional office to confirm pending updates
