Coded Welder (Pressure Vessels)

The pressure vessel manufacturer in Kimberley needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Home base is a pressure vessel manufacturer on the Kimberley side of Northern Cape.

• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• 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
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment

• 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
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help

• Rigging or crane signalling certificate
• Orbital or automatic welding experience
• Duplex or chrome-moly welding experience

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

• 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.
