Coded Welder (Pressure Vessels)

The stainless steel equipment manufacturer in Pinetown needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The work is in Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment
• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging

• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down

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

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

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