Job Description

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy structural steel fabrication workshop in Boksburg. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

Location: Boksburg, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What your day looks like

  • TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
  • Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers
  • Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
  • Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill
  • Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
  • Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing

Must-haves

  • 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
  • Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
  • At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: current welder coding certificates (check the dates), photos of recent work, if you have them plus your ID document or smart ID card copy.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Boksburg.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

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