Boilermaker-Welder (Plant Shutdowns)

Strong welding and plate work for the structural steel fabrication workshop in Rosslyn, with real drawings and real tolerances. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

Location: Rosslyn, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill

• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses

• Duplex or chrome-moly welding experience
• Rigging or crane signalling certificate

• Accommodation and meals paid on out-of-town shutdowns
• Shutdown bonus and site allowance for work away from home
• Coding renewals paid by the employer

• List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
• Expired codings are the number one reason welders are turned away at the gate. Check dates before you apply.
