Job Description

If your welds pass X-ray, this trailer and truck body builder in East London wants you. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

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

The work, day to day

  • TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
  • Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
  • Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
  • Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
  • Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate

Must-haves

  • Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
  • Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
  • Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
  • You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help

Extra points for

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

What's in it for you

  • 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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: photos of recent work, if you have them plus current welder coding certificates (check the dates).
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around East London.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
  • Expired codings are the number one reason welders are turned away at the gate. Check dates before you apply.
