Boilermaker-Welder (Plant Shutdowns) – Immediate Start

The pressure vessel 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 work is in Kariega, Eastern Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill

• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• 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

• 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.
• Expect a practical welding test on the first day. Bring your own gloves and chipping hammer so you feel at home.
