Boilermaker-Welder (Plant Shutdowns) – Immediate Start

The pressure vessel manufacturer in Polokwane needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Polokwane; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment
• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld

• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs

• Orbital or automatic welding experience
• Duplex or chrome-moly welding experience

• Accommodation and meals paid on out-of-town shutdowns
• Leather welding PPE and auto-darkening helmet supplied
• Shutdown bonus and site allowance for work away from home

• Expect a practical welding test on the first day. Bring your own gloves and chipping hammer so you feel at home.
• Expired codings are the number one reason welders are turned away at the gate. Check dates before you apply.
