Boilermaker (Structural Steel Fabrication)

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy pressure vessel manufacturer in Krugersdorp. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Krugersdorp; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers
• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment
• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate

• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification

• Experience on structural work to AWS D1.1

• 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.
