Pipe Welder (Carbon Steel & Stainless)

The stainless steel equipment manufacturer in Prospecton needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The work is in Prospecton, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.
