Coded Welder (6G, ASME IX)

The pressure vessel manufacturer in Sasolburg needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

Location: Sasolburg, Free State. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

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

• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down

• Leather welding PPE and auto-darkening helmet supplied
• Accommodation and meals paid on out-of-town shutdowns
• 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.
• List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
