Boilermaker (Structural Steel Fabrication)

Strong welding and plate work for the structural steel fabrication workshop in Benoni, with real drawings and real tolerances. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The work is in Benoni, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool

• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying

• Leather welding PPE and auto-darkening helmet supplied
• Coding renewals paid by the employer
• Shutdown bonus and site allowance for work away from home
• Accommodation and meals paid on out-of-town shutdowns

• List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
• Expect a practical welding test on the first day. Bring your own gloves and chipping hammer so you feel at home.
