MIG Welder (Trailer Manufacturing)

If your welds pass X-ray, this structural steel fabrication workshop in Prospecton wants you. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Home base is a structural steel fabrication workshop on the Prospecton side of KwaZulu-Natal. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• 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
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging

• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification

• Duplex or chrome-moly welding experience
• Rigging or crane signalling certificate
• Orbital or automatic welding experience

• Accommodation and meals paid on out-of-town shutdowns
• Coding renewals paid by the employer
• Shutdown bonus and site allowance for work away from home

• If you have worked shutdowns, name the type of plant, like refinery or sugar mill. It proves you know the site rules.
