Job Description

The trailer and truck body builder in Rustenburg needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

You'll report in Rustenburg. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What you'll actually do

  • Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
  • Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment
  • Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
  • TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
  • Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers
  • Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
  • Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool

Must-haves

  • Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
  • Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
  • Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
  • Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
  • Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one

Helpful, not essential

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

On offer

  • Shutdown bonus and site allowance for work away from home
  • Leather welding PPE and auto-darkening helmet supplied
  • Coding renewals paid by the employer

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Rustenburg really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: your ID document or smart ID card copy, photos of recent work, if you have them plus trade test certificate or SAIW qualification.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.

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

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Expect a practical welding test on the first day. Bring your own gloves and chipping hammer so you feel at home.
  • List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
