Boilermaker (Structural Steel Fabrication) – Immediate Start

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy petrochemical shutdown contractor in Centurion. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

Location: Centurion, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld

• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
