TIG Welder (Stainless Steel Food Equipment)

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy petrochemical shutdown contractor in Krugersdorp. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is Krugersdorp-based, with most of your time spent at a petrochemical shutdown contractor.

• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• Weld carbon steel pipe in the 6G position using GTAW root and SMAW fill
• Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
• Fit up beams, columns and bracing with the correct gaps and alignment
• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld

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

• Experience on structural work to AWS D1.1
• Rigging or crane signalling certificate

• Leather welding PPE and auto-darkening helmet supplied
• Shutdown bonus and site allowance for work away from home
• Coding renewals paid by the employer

• 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.
