Full job description

Role purpose

Lead and perform enclosed arc welding (EAW) repairs to ship-to-shore and quayside crane rails at operational port terminals. The role is hands-on: you will weld to Alatas welding procedure specification RP/CW/055, supervise a small team of coded welders, and act as the on-site technical authority for rail joint quality, safety and client liaison.

Key responsibilities

Perform enclosed manual metal arc (MMA 111) butt welding of flat-bottom crane rails (A45–A150, CR87/CR89/CR125, DIN 536) in accordance with RP/CW/055, including joint preparation, copper block and backing bar set-up, alignment and straightness checks
Control and record preheat (250–300°C by section), interpass discipline and post-weld heat treatment (550–600°C stress relief, controlled cooling), including temperature monitoring and documentation
Supervise and mentor the team and confirm welders work within their range of qualification and complete six-monthly employer endorsements of welder approval certificates
Coordinate NDT (visual, MPI, radiography/UT as specified) with examining bodies, review results against BS EN ISO 5817 quality levels, and manage defect excavation and re-weld
Plan and lead site works: method statements, risk assessments, hot work at height in confined positions, protection of crane electrical systems from stray welding current, and compliance with port/dock permit systems
Maintain weld records, test reports and project documentation to Alatas and client standards; interface professionally with terminal engineering teams
Support workshop welder training, procedure qualification trials and continuous improvement of the rail welding procedure

Essential requirements

Current welder qualification to BS EN ISO 9606-1 (MMA 111, butt welds, Group 2 steels) or demonstrable ability to pass approval testing on rail sections; specific EAW crane rail experience strongly preferred
Proven background in structural or rail welding of thick sections (95 mm+) with low-hydrogen electrodes, including preheat and PWHT control
Supervisory experience leading small welding teams on live industrial or port sites
Sound working knowledge of BS EN ISO 15613/15614 procedure qualification, ISO 5817 quality levels and common NDT methods
Comfortable working at height, in confined positions and outdoors in port environments; willing to travel at short notice, including overseas
Full driving licence and valid passport

Desirable

CITB/SSSTS or SMSTS, IOSH, confined space and working at height tickets
Experience with crane rail alignment, clip systems and rail surveys
NDT appreciation qualifications (MPI/DPI)
