Job Description

The structural steel fabrication workshop in Sandton 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.

You'll report in Sandton. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What your day looks like

  • Follow the welding procedure specification for every joint you weld
  • Sign off your weld map and traceability sheets for each spool
  • Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
  • Grind and repair welds flagged by the QC inspector
  • TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
  • Read fabrication drawings and cutting lists before you mark out plate

Must-haves

  • Steady hands and good eyesight, with or without glasses
  • 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
  • Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification

Helpful, not essential

  • SAIW welding inspector course, even at Level 1
  • Duplex or chrome-moly welding experience
  • Orbital or automatic welding experience

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.

How to stand out

  • Expired codings are the number one reason welders are turned away at the gate. Check dates before you apply.
