Plater and Fabricator (Tanks & Hoppers)

The pressure vessel manufacturer in Vereeniging needs a coded welder who can hold a WPS and deliver clean, sound joints. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is in Vereeniging (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing

• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help

• Experience on structural work to AWS D1.1
• Duplex or chrome-moly welding experience
• Rigging or crane signalling certificate

• Coding renewals paid by the employer
• Leather welding PPE and auto-darkening helmet supplied
• Accommodation and meals paid on out-of-town shutdowns

• Expired codings are the number one reason welders are turned away at the gate. Check dates before you apply.
• List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
