Job Description

Strong welding and plate work for the trailer and truck body builder in Bloemfontein, with real drawings and real tolerances. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll report in Bloemfontein. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What you'll actually do

  • TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
  • Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
  • Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
  • Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
  • Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
  • Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns

What you need

  • Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
  • You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
  • Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
  • Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one

Extra points for

  • Experience on structural work to AWS D1.1
  • Duplex or chrome-moly welding experience
  • Rigging or crane signalling certificate

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: trade test certificate or SAIW qualification, photos of recent work, if you have them plus your ID document or smart ID card copy.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Bloemfontein.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • Expect a practical welding test on the first day. Bring your own gloves and chipping hammer so you feel at home.
  • If you have worked shutdowns, name the type of plant, like refinery or sugar mill. It proves you know the site rules.
