Introduction
Our client is looking for a candidate to perform high-quality TIG (GTAW) welding on ferrous and non-ferrous materials used in the manufacturing of components, assemblies, and structures. The role requires precision, adherence to welding codes, and the ability to interpret technical drawings and work procedures.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform TIG (GTAW) welding on plate, pipe, sheet metal, and components according to Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS).
- Prepare materials: cleaning, beveling, fit-up, and tack welding.
- Fabricate components according to manufacturing standards and engineering drawings.
- Execute high-precision welds in multiple positions and on various alloys (e.g., stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum).
- Conduct multi-pass TIG welding on structural and pressure-related components as required by production.
- Inspect welds visually for defects and compliance with quality control requirements.
- Ensure all welds meet relevant quality standards, codes, and tolerances.
- Report defects and perform corrective actions when necessary.
- Read and interpret engineering drawings, symbols, and welding schematics.
- Complete job cards, production sheets, and welding logs accurately.
- Follow manufacturing quality standards and industry welding codes
- Maintain a safe working environment and follow all Occupational Health & Safety protocols.
- Use PPE correctly and participate in safety inspections.
Requirements
- Occupational Certificate: Welder (NQF Level 4) – SAQA IS 94100 or equivalent.
- TIG/GTAW competency obtained through accredited training (as part of the official welding modules).
- Trade Test Certificate (advantageous or required based on company policy).
- Ability to pass company-specific welding tests (TIG plate/pipe tests).
- 2-5 years’ TIG welding experience in a manufacturing or fabrication environment.
- Proven experience in welding stainless steel, carbon steel, and other alloys using TIG.
- Experience in pipe/tube fabrication, sheet metal fabrication, or precision manufacturing is advantageous. (Manufacturing, mining, and petrochemical sectors employ welders with these skills)
- High-precision TIG welding (thin-wall & thick materials)
- Ability to weld in 1G-6G positions
- Strong understanding of material properties and weldability
- Blueprint and symbol interpretation
- Knowledge of welding consumables & equipment setup
- Quality-focused mindset with attention to detail
- Ability to work independently or in a team
- Workshop or manufacturing floor environment
- Exposure to heat, noise, and metal particulates
- May require overtime and working on large industrial projects
