Coded Welder (6G, ASME IX)

Strong welding and plate work for the pressure vessel manufacturer in Durban Central, with real drawings and real tolerances. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Durban Central-based, with most of your time spent at a pressure vessel manufacturer. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill
• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers

• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• 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

• SAIW welding inspector course, even at Level 1
• Rigging or crane signalling certificate

• Coding renewals paid by the employer
• Leather welding PPE and auto-darkening helmet supplied
• Shutdown bonus and site allowance for work away from home

• List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
• If you have worked shutdowns, name the type of plant, like refinery or sugar mill. It proves you know the site rules.
