Pipe Welder (Carbon Steel & Stainless)

The trailer and truck body builder in Randburg needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is in Randburg (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment
• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs

• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• 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

• Orbital or automatic welding experience
• Experience on structural work to AWS D1.1

• 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
• Coding renewals paid by the employer

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