• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector

• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one

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