What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an ASME Code Welder, and why are they important?

To thrive as an ASME Code Welder, you need advanced welding skills, a deep understanding of metallurgy, and certification to relevant ASME welding codes. Proficiency in using welding equipment, non-destructive testing methods, and familiarity with procedures like GTAW, SMAW, or MIG, as well as holding ASME Section IX qualifications, are typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong communication skills help ensure precision and effective teamwork. These skills and certifications are crucial for producing high-quality, code-compliant welds that guarantee safety and reliability in critical pressure-retaining systems.

What is the difference between Asme Code Welder vs Pipe Welder?

AspectAsme Code WelderPipe Welder

Work EnvironmentRefineries, power plants, industrial facilitiesOil & gas pipelines, refineries, industrial plants
Industry UsageHeavy industry, power generation, manufacturingOil & gas, petrochemical, pipeline construction

Both Asme Code Welders and Pipe Welders require similar certifications and often work in industrial environments. However, Asme Code Welders specifically focus on welding to ASME standards for pressure vessels and boilers, while Pipe Welders specialize in welding pipelines and piping systems. Understanding these distinctions helps employers and workers align their skills with industry requirements.

What are ASME Code Welders?

ASME Code Welders are skilled professionals who perform welding work in compliance with the standards set by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). They specialize in welding components for boilers, pressure vessels, and piping systems that must meet strict safety and quality codes. These welders must be certified and demonstrate proficiency in various welding techniques to ensure the integrity and safety of critical structures in industries like power generation, oil and gas, and manufacturing.

What are some common challenges an ASME Code Welder may face on the job, and how can they be addressed?

ASME Code Welders often encounter challenges such as working with complex welding procedures, maintaining strict adherence to safety and quality standards, and interpreting detailed blueprints or codes. Staying updated on the latest ASME standards and participating in regular training can help address these challenges. Additionally, collaborating closely with inspectors, engineers, and fabrication teams ensures that all welds meet the required specifications, reducing the risk of rework or non-compliance.

Savannah Tank & Equipment Corp. is a dedicated ASME code shop. For more than 30 years, we’ve built ASME Section VIII pressure vessels, API 650 storage tanks, and modular process equipment for leading companies in demanding industries—including chemical processing, water treatment, energy, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals. Our welds get x-rayed, our vessels get stamped, and our customers come back. Recent growth has us adding 4 to 6 skilled welder/fitters to our shop floor. 
Position Highlights:
  • Relocation Assistance: Available for moves of 250+ miles
  • High-Demand Overtime: 1.5x time-and-a-half opportunities
  • Quality-Driven: True code work with stable, long-term backlogs

Pay Breakdown:
  • Hourly Range: $22.00 – $35.00 / hour (Based on experience and weld test performance)
  • Overtime Pay: 1.5x base rate paid after 40 hours weekly (Consistent OT opportunities available)

  • Development-Level Welders: $22.00 – $27.00 / hour

What You’ll Be Welding:
  •  ASME Section VIII pressure vessels, API 650 storage tanks, modular skids, and related components
  • Materials: Primarily carbon steel and stainless steel. Alloy work (duplex, Monel, Inconel, Alloy 20) is assigned based on demonstrated experience.
  • Multiple Processes: MIG (GMAW), TIG (GTAW), Sub-Arc (SAW), and Flux Core (FCAW). TIG proficiency is critical for our pressure vessel work.
  • Out-of-position work (overhead, vertical, 3G, 4G, 6G)

What You’ll Do:
  • Read and interpret blueprints, mechanical drawings, and welding symbols.
  • Perform precision layout, bevel prep, fit-up, and tacking to exact specifications before executing the final weld-out, taking full ownership of the joint.
  • Operate fabrication tools including grinders, oxy-acetylene torches, plasma cutters, and precision layout instruments (calipers, micrometers, angle finders, squares).
  • Strictly adhere to the Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and maintain inspection-ready quality on every weld.

What We’re Looking For (Required):
  • 5+ years of welding and fabrication experience
  • Solid FluxCore/MIG and TIG skills in carbon and stainless steel
  • Ability to read blueprints, mechanical drawings, and weld symbols
  • Strong fit-up skills (layout, bevel prep, tacking)
  • Solid math fundamentals (fractions, decimals, angles)
  • Ability to handle physical work, including lifting up to 50 lbs
  • Ability to pass our hands-on weld test (tested strictly on our WPS)
  • Passing a pre-employment drug test

Strong Plus:
  • AWS D1.1, ASME Section IX, or API 1104 certifications
  • Prior pressure vessel or code-stamped tank manufacturing work
  • Advanced TIG and Flux Core experience
  • Alloy welding experience (duplex, Monel, Inconel, Alloy 20)
  • OSHA safety training

Benefits:
  • Strong overtime opportunities (Current shop demand is high)
  •  Health insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid vacation, sick leave, and holiday pay
  • Relocation assistance available for moves of 250+ miles

How to Apply:
  • In Person: Visit our shop Monday–Thursday (8:00 AM to 3:30 PM) or Friday (8:00 AM to 12:00 PM) at 1517 Telfair Road, Garden City, GA.
  • Online: Submit your application directly through this job posting.

We will contact qualified candidates to schedule an on-site weld test.
