Job Description

Strong welding and plate work for the pressure vessel manufacturer in Komani, with real drawings and real tolerances. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll report in Komani. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What you'll actually do

  • Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
  • Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
  • Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
  • Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment
  • Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
  • Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill

You'll need

  • Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
  • Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
  • Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
  • You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help

On offer

  • Shutdown bonus and site allowance for work away from home
  • Accommodation and meals paid on out-of-town shutdowns
  • Coding renewals paid by the employer

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): trade test certificate or SAIW qualification, current welder coding certificates (check the dates) plus your ID document or smart ID card copy.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

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

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
  • Expect a practical welding test on the first day. Bring your own gloves and chipping hammer so you feel at home.
