Coded Welder (Pressure Vessels)

Strong welding and plate work for the petrochemical shutdown contractor in Atlantis, with real drawings and real tolerances. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The work is in Atlantis, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill
• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
• 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

• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• 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

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

• List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
• Expired codings are the number one reason welders are turned away at the gate. Check dates before you apply.
