Boilermaker (Structural Steel Fabrication)

If your welds pass X-ray, this stainless steel equipment manufacturer in George wants you. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

You'll report in George. Relocation is not covered for this one. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool

• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs

• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs

• SAIW welding inspector course, even at Level 1
• Rigging or crane signalling certificate

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