Boilermaker-Welder (Plant Shutdowns)

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

This post is in Hammarsdale (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers
• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill
• 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
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate

• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying

• Orbital or automatic welding experience
• Rigging or crane signalling certificate

• Coding renewals paid by the employer
• Shutdown bonus and site allowance for work away from home
• 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.
• Expect a practical welding test on the first day. Bring your own gloves and chipping hammer so you feel at home.
