Plater and Fabricator (Tanks & Hoppers)

If your welds pass X-ray, this structural steel fabrication workshop in Bellville wants you. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is Bellville-based, with most of your time spent at a structural steel fabrication workshop. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

• 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
• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs

• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification

• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses

• Shutdown bonus and site allowance for work away from home
• Accommodation and meals paid on out-of-town shutdowns
