Coded Welder (Pressure Vessels)

The trailer and truck body builder in Springs needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is in Springs (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld

• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• 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

• Shutdown bonus and site allowance for work away from home
• Leather welding PPE and auto-darkening helmet supplied
• Accommodation and meals paid on out-of-town shutdowns
• Coding renewals paid by the employer

• 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.
