• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers
• 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
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate

• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• 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

• Coding renewals paid by the employer
• Accommodation and meals paid on out-of-town shutdowns
• Leather welding PPE and auto-darkening helmet supplied

• List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
• If you have worked shutdowns, name the type of plant, like refinery or sugar mill. It proves you know the site rules.
