Coded Welder (6G, ASME IX)

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy petrochemical shutdown contractor in Durban Central. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

Home base is a petrochemical shutdown contractor on the Durban Central side of KwaZulu-Natal. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• 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
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector

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

• 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
• Leather welding PPE and auto-darkening helmet supplied
• 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.
• If you have worked shutdowns, name the type of plant, like refinery or sugar mill. It proves you know the site rules.
