If your welds pass X-ray, this pressure vessel manufacturer in Welkom wants you. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is Welkom-based, with most of your time spent at a pressure vessel manufacturer. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

• 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
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
