Boilermaker-Welder (Plant Shutdowns)

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy stainless steel equipment manufacturer in Cape Town CBD. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

You'll report in Cape Town CBD. Relocation is not covered for this one.

• 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
• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment
• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine

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

• Orbital or automatic welding experience
• SAIW welding inspector course, even at Level 1
• Duplex or chrome-moly welding experience

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

• List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
• If you have worked shutdowns, name the type of plant, like refinery or sugar mill. It proves you know the site rules.
