Pipe Welder (Carbon Steel & Stainless)

Strong welding and plate work for the structural steel fabrication workshop in Pinetown, with real drawings and real tolerances. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

You'll be based at a structural steel fabrication workshop in Pinetown. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
• 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
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification

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

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

• 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.
