Answer

Well, the term for electric welding is 'arc welding' but now there all kinds using gases, TIG and MIG and I don't know them all. 

I believe you would simply call the job description 'welder' and if there were any more detail it would be about the type of welding- pipe welder, underwater welder, aircraft welder, steam fitter (ah, there's a different wording) - and we would assume the welder knows what kind of technology to use.

Answer

In Russian dictionaries: electric welder.
