Coded Welder (Pressure Vessels)

The trailer and truck body builder in Rustenburg needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

You'll report in Rustenburg. Relocation is not covered for this one.

• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill
• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment

• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification

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

• If you have worked shutdowns, name the type of plant, like refinery or sugar mill. It proves you know the site rules.
• List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
