Plater and Fabricator (Tanks & Hoppers) – Immediate Start

If your welds pass X-ray, this structural steel fabrication workshop in Hammarsdale wants you. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

This post is Hammarsdale-based, with most of your time spent at a structural steel fabrication workshop.

• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing

• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification

• Rigging or crane signalling certificate
• Orbital or automatic welding experience
• SAIW welding inspector course, even at Level 1

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

• 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.
