MIG Welder (Trailer Manufacturing) – Immediate Start

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy pressure vessel manufacturer in Mthatha. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The work is in Mthatha, Eastern Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers
• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector

• 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
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying

• Duplex or chrome-moly welding experience
• Rigging or crane signalling certificate
• Experience on structural work to AWS D1.1

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

• Expired codings are the number one reason welders are turned away at the gate. Check dates before you apply.
• If you have worked shutdowns, name the type of plant, like refinery or sugar mill. It proves you know the site rules.
