Boilermaker-Welder (Plant Shutdowns)

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy petrochemical shutdown contractor in Pinetown. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is in Pinetown (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector

• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs

• Leather welding PPE and auto-darkening helmet supplied
• Coding renewals paid by the employer
• Accommodation and meals paid on out-of-town shutdowns

• If you have worked shutdowns, name the type of plant, like refinery or sugar mill. It proves you know the site rules.
• Expired codings are the number one reason welders are turned away at the gate. Check dates before you apply.
