TIG Welder (Stainless Steel Food Equipment)

If your welds pass X-ray, this structural steel fabrication workshop in Polokwane wants you. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Polokwane-based, with most of your time spent at a structural steel fabrication workshop. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
• Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers
• Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
• Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate

• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• Medical fitness certificate for industrial sites, or willing to get one
• Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses

• SAIW welding inspector course, even at Level 1
• Rigging or crane signalling certificate

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

• 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.
