Job Description

If your welds pass X-ray, this stainless steel equipment manufacturer in Hammarsdale wants you. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

You'll report in Hammarsdale. Relocation is not covered for this one. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

What you'll actually do

  • Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
  • Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
  • Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
  • Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
  • Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
  • Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment

Must-haves

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

Nice if you have

  • Experience on structural work to AWS D1.1
  • Rigging or crane signalling certificate

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): your ID document or smart ID card copy plus photos of recent work, if you have them.
  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 10 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Hammarsdale; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

  • 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.
