Coded Welder (6G, ASME IX)

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy structural steel fabrication workshop in Brackenfell. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Location: Brackenfell, Western Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns

• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down

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

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

• 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.
