Coded Welder (Pressure Vessels)

Strong welding and plate work for the structural steel fabrication workshop in Coega, with real drawings and real tolerances. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The site is in Coega; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool

• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• 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
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down

• Experience on structural work to AWS D1.1
• Orbital or automatic welding experience
• SAIW welding inspector course, even at Level 1

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

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