Coded Welder (Pressure Vessels) – Immediate Start

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy stainless steel equipment manufacturer in Johannesburg CBD. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

You'll be based at a stainless steel equipment manufacturer in Johannesburg CBD. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• 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
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector

• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• 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
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help

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

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