Boilermaker-Welder (Plant Shutdowns) – Immediate Start

Strong welding and plate work for the stainless steel equipment manufacturer in Kathu, with real drawings and real tolerances. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll report in Kathu. Relocation is not covered for this one. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.
