If your welds pass X-ray, this stainless steel equipment manufacturer in Tembisa wants you. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs

• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses

• Orbital or automatic welding experience
• Experience on structural work to AWS D1.1
