Welder

A well-established factory operation based in Boksburg, Gauteng is seeking a dedicated Welder to join its team. The role demands accuracy, initiative, and a commitment to high standards.

Training is practical and ongoing rather than a once-off exercise. You will have the tools, systems, and backing needed to do the job properly. Send your CV through today and take the first step towards this opportunity.

Fabrication & Production

• Read and interpret complex engineering drawings, welding symbols, and work instructions to determine fabrication sequences, material requirements, and dimensional tolerances before commencing production on each job to minimise rework and material wastage.
• Monitor production machinery during operation to detect abnormal sounds, vibrations, or output quality variations, stopping equipment for investigation and making necessary adjustments to prevent defective output and unplanned downtime.
• Fabricate, assemble, and weld structural steel components, pressure vessels, and piping systems according to detailed engineering drawings, using MIG, TIG, and arc welding processes to produce structurally sound and visually acceptable welds that pass non-destructive testing.
• Set up, programme, and operate CNC lathes, milling machines, and conventional machine tools to manufacture precision components to exact tolerances, selecting appropriate cutting speeds, feeds, and tooling for each material type and machining operation.

Safety & Workshop Management

• Conduct daily pre-start inspections of all workshop plant and equipment including machine tools, welding sets, lifting tackle, and portable power tools, reporting any defects to maintenance immediately and tagging out unsafe equipment until repaired.
• Maintain a clean, organised, and efficient workshop environment following 5S principles by sorting, setting in order, shining, standardising, and sustaining work area organisation, tool storage, and material storage across all workstations and storage zones.

• Willingness to work shifts, overtime, and be on standby as required to support production demands and maintenance schedules.
• The ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings, welding symbols, and work instructions to produce components to specification.
• For welding roles, proven competency in multiple welding processes and ability to pass welder qualification tests.
• For quality inspection roles, proficiency in using precision measuring instruments and knowledge of inspection techniques and sampling plans.
• A minimum of three to five years of post-trade test experience in a manufacturing, engineering, or heavy industrial workshop.
• Strong understanding of occupational health and safety regulations and a demonstrated commitment to safe working practices.
