Plater and Fabricator (Tanks & Hoppers)

The structural steel fabrication workshop in Prospecton needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

Location: Prospecton, KwaZulu-Natal. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool

• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs

• Rigging or crane signalling certificate
• SAIW welding inspector course, even at Level 1
• Duplex or chrome-moly welding experience

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

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