Coded Welder (6G, ASME IX)

The stainless steel equipment manufacturer in Brits needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Location: Brits, North West. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill
• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector

• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• 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
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses

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

• 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.
