• Experience working with thinner materials, ideally between 1mm and 6mm.

• Ability to interpret engineering drawings and welding symbols.

• Experience producing butt, fillet and plug welds.

• A strong understanding of welding quality standards and procedures.

• A reliable, quality-focused approach with excellent attention to detail.

• The ability to work independently and as part of a production team.

A practical weld test will form part of the interview process.
