Boilermaker-Welder (Plant Shutdowns)

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy stainless steel equipment manufacturer in Gqeberha. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The site is in Gqeberha; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers
• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool

• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down

• Coding renewals paid by the employer
• Leather welding PPE and auto-darkening helmet supplied
• Shutdown bonus and site allowance for work away from home

• Expect a practical welding test on the first day. Bring your own gloves and chipping hammer so you feel at home.
• List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
