Boilermaker-Welder (Plant Shutdowns) – Immediate Start

If your welds pass X-ray, this pressure vessel manufacturer in Midrand wants you. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

Home base is a pressure vessel manufacturer on the Midrand side of Gauteng. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment
• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill

• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification

• Accommodation and meals paid on out-of-town shutdowns
