Coded Welder (Pressure Vessels) – Permanent

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy petrochemical shutdown contractor in Lephalale. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

You'll report in Lephalale. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• 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
• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector

• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one

• Rigging or crane signalling certificate
• Experience on structural work to AWS D1.1
• Orbital or automatic welding experience

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

• Expired codings are the number one reason welders are turned away at the gate. Check dates before you apply.
• If you have worked shutdowns, name the type of plant, like refinery or sugar mill. It proves you know the site rules.
