The posting

Our client, a leader in the engineering and construction industry specialising in bulk fuel storage, is building a talent pool of qualified and experienced Blasters for current and future construction, maintenance and shutdown projects.

We are looking for disciplined, quality-focused blasters with experience in high-risk industrial environments, who can prepare fuel tanks, pipelines and steel structures to the required cleanliness and surface profile, because good coating starts with good surface preparation.

Successful candidates may be considered for opportunities across all nine South African provinces, as well as Namibia. Willingness to travel and work away from home when required is essential.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities:

  • Carry out abrasive blasting on steel surfaces to prepare them for painting or coating.
  • Make sure surfaces meet the specified cleanliness and surface profile (e.g. Sa 2.5 or the client's specification).
  • Operate and maintain blasting equipment, including compressors, blast pots, hoses and nozzles.
  • Mix and load abrasive materials as required for each project.
  • Mask and protect surfaces that are not to be blasted.
  • Do daily inspections of blasting equipment and tools, carry out basic troubleshooting and report defects.
  • Set up and dismantle blasting areas.
  • Wear the correct PPE, including respiratory protection, and follow confined space, working at heights and permit-to-work procedures.
  • Keep accurate logs of work completed and materials used.
  • Coordinate surface preparation with painters and coating schedules to avoid delays.
  • Keep the work area clean and safe, and report faults, unsafe practices or incidents immediately.

Minimum Requirements:

  • Grade 12 / National Senior Certificate.
  • Formal sandblasting certification or recognised industry training.
  • At least 2 years' experience as a Blaster in petrochemical, industrial or heavy engineering sectors.
  • Knowledge of surface preparation grades, cleanliness standards and surface profiles.
  • Experience using test equipment to check blast profiles.
  • Valid Working at Heights and Confined Space Entry training certificates.
  • Experience working under permit-to-work systems.
  • Valid driver's licence and willingness to travel.

Advantageous Experience:

  • Petrochemical, refinery, fuel terminal or bulk fuel storage projects.
  • Blasting inside tanks and other confined spaces.
  • Experience with different blasting media.
  • Guiding or coaching junior blasters.

Please Note:

This role forms part of an ongoing talent pool initiative for current and future projects. Opportunities can vary in location, duration and employment type, depending on project requirements.

Whether you are actively looking or open to future opportunities, we would love to hear from you!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
