MIG Welder (Trailer Manufacturing) – Fixed-Term

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy petrochemical shutdown contractor in Tembisa. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is Tembisa-based, with most of your time spent at a petrochemical shutdown contractor.

• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool

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

• Rigging or crane signalling certificate
• Experience on structural work to AWS D1.1
• Orbital or automatic welding experience

• Shutdown bonus and site allowance for work away from home
• Accommodation and meals paid on out-of-town shutdowns
• 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.
• If you have worked shutdowns, name the type of plant, like refinery or sugar mill. It proves you know the site rules.
