Coded Welder (6G, ASME IX)

The trailer and truck body builder in Pinetown needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is in Pinetown (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers
• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing

• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• 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
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one

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

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

• Expired codings are the number one reason welders are turned away at the gate. Check dates before you apply.
• If you have worked shutdowns, name the type of plant, like refinery or sugar mill. It proves you know the site rules.
