MIG Welder (Trailer Manufacturing)

The stainless steel equipment manufacturer in Mahikeng needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The site is in Mahikeng; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment
• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs

• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• 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
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification

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

• Expect a practical welding test on the first day. Bring your own gloves and chipping hammer so you feel at home.
• List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
