Coded Welder (Pressure Vessels)

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy petrochemical shutdown contractor in Prospecton. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is in Prospecton (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine

• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate

• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses

• SAIW welding inspector course, even at Level 1

• Shutdown bonus and site allowance for work away from home
