Boilermaker-Welder (Plant Shutdowns) – Permanent

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy petrochemical shutdown contractor in Isando. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Isando; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
