TIG Welder (Stainless Steel Food Equipment)

If your welds pass X-ray, this trailer and truck body builder in Atlantis wants you. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is Atlantis-based, with most of your time spent at a trailer and truck body builder.

• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers
• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns

• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help

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

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

• 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.
