Coded Welder (Pressure Vessels)

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy stainless steel equipment manufacturer in Cape Town CBD. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

You'll be based at a stainless steel equipment manufacturer in Cape Town CBD. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers
• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine

• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• 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
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down

• Orbital or automatic welding experience
• SAIW welding inspector course, even at Level 1

• 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

• List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
