Coded Welder (Pressure Vessels)

The structural steel fabrication workshop in White River 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.

Location: White River, Mpumalanga. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment

• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• 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
