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 Pipe, Plate and Coded Welders for future construction, maintenance and shutdown projects.

We are looking for skilled, quality-focused welders with experience in high-risk industrial environments, who can produce sound welds first time and work safely alongside fabrication, QC, scaffolding and painting teams on tanks, piping and structures.

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.

Positions in this talent pool:

  • Pipe Welder: welding of piping systems and spools to isometric drawings, project specifications and WPS requirements.
  • Plate Welder: plate and structural welding on tanks and steel structures to fabrication drawings, including tank refurbishment work.
  • Coded Welder: coded welding on plate and/or pipe to a specific code and WPS, matched to the material, grade, process and position each project needs.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities:

  • Weld pipe, plate and structural components according to WPS, project specifications and isometric or fabrication drawings.
  • Set up welding machines and control amperage, parameters and heat input for the material and process being used.
  • Prepare and bevel joints and check alignment and fit-up before welding.
  • Work towards a 0% weld failure rate and prevent defects that lead to repairs, rework or NCRs.
  • Keep traceable weld records and follow the site Quality Control Plan (QCP).
  • Work with QC inspectors on NDT requirements (VT, PT, RT) and weld sign-offs.
  • Follow permit-to-work, hot work, gas testing, confined space and working at heights procedures.
  • Report deviations, non-conformances and hazards to the supervisor straight away.
  • Keep work areas clean, organised and compliant with site rules.

Minimum Requirements:

  • Recognised welding qualification (Red Seal or equivalent) in the relevant welding processes (SMAW, GTAW, GMAW).
  • Pipe Welders: recent coding to an ASME IX or AWS D1.1 procedure in the 6G position.
  • Plate Welders: recent coding to an ASME IX or AWS D1.1 procedure in the 4G position.
  • Coded Welders: valid coding/WPQ to the applicable code and WPS, with proof of the material, process and position covered.
  • At least 2 years' relevant pipe or plate welding experience in industrial or petrochemical environments.
  • Ability to read and interpret isometric, technical and fabrication drawings.
  • 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.
  • Tank repair, tank refurbishment, fabrication and piping installations.
  • Welding carbon steel, stainless steel (304, 316, 409) and 3CR12.
  • Coding in more than one process or position.
  • Experience guiding or mentoring junior welders.

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.

Welders are matched to projects by material, process, position and coding, so a practical weld test may be required before mobilisation. Whether you are actively looking or open to future opportunities, we would love to hear from you!

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.
