TIG Welder (Stainless Steel Food Equipment)

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy structural steel fabrication workshop in Harrismith. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The work is in Harrismith, Free State, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate
• Cut and bevel plate with oxy-fuel, plasma and a bevelling machine
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment
• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers

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

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