Boilermaker-Welder (Plant Shutdowns)

The stainless steel equipment manufacturer in Kariega needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The site is in Kariega; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.
