Coded Welder (Pressure Vessels)

The petrochemical shutdown contractor in Randburg needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The work is in Randburg, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment
• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns

• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• 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
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down

• Orbital or automatic welding experience
• Duplex or chrome-moly welding experience

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

• 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.
