About the job
Plant and Equipment Builder with Focus on Tank Construction (100%)
You don’t just build tanks. You produce quality that others rely on.
We are looking for experts with a passion for craftsmanship. People who process stainless steel precisely, pay close attention, and take responsibility for first-class results.
Who we are looking for
We are seeking a professional who thinks ahead, works cleanly, and takes responsibility for the outcome. Someone who enjoys high-quality stainless steel processing and wants to help us further develop our production together.
We offer a lot of freedom. And a lot of responsibility. We are not looking for someone we have to manage daily, but someone who sees their work, addresses problems, and helps shape solutions.
What this role involves
- Manufacturing tanks and equipment: Producing tanks, containers, equipment, and sophisticated stainless steel constructions.
- Welding demanding materials: Welding pipelines, tanks, and equipment made of stainless steel, duplex, and special materials using TIG welding and – depending on the application – orbital welding techniques.
- Processing components precisely: Preparing, tack welding, and welding components according to technical drawings, isometrics, and production specifications with a focus on quality.
- Installing systems at the customer site: Assembling process engineering systems, tanks, and pipelines at our customers’ premises, adhering to relevant standards – especially EN ISO 9606-1 – and quality requirements, and diligently performing visual, dimensional, and quality inspections.
- Developing production together: Working closely with production, assembly, and engineering, actively contributing practical knowledge, and helping to shape the further development of our production.
Especially exciting
At the end of the year, we will commission a new automatic welding system. You will work with the latest production technology and actively shape the next development step of ISTinox.
What you bring
- Training: Completed training as a plant and equipment builder, metalworker, or a comparable qualification.
- Experience in plant construction: Practical experience in tank, equipment, or pipeline construction.
- Confident welding skills: Solid experience in TIG welding of stainless steel; experience with orbital welding is a plus but not mandatory.
- Technical understanding: Confident handling of technical drawings and isometrics.
- Quality focus: Enjoyment of high-quality stainless steel processing, a high standard of quality, and an independent, careful, and precise working style.
- Team spirit and responsibility: Reliability, team spirit, and a sense of responsibility.
- Open to modern technology: Enthusiasm for working with modern production technology.
What to expect at ISTinox
- We value more than just hard facts: it also has to fit on a personal level. We get stuck in, enjoy really good work, and want to make a difference together.
- A team on equal footing: People with whom collaboration is enjoyable: direct, uncomplicated, helpful, and with genuine team spirit.
- Performance principle: Initiative, quality, and responsibility will advance you here – titles may look good on business cards, but what counts is what you make of them.
- Short paths: Short distances, clear decisions, and direct contact with management – good ideas don’t get stuck in a queue here.
- Comprehensive security: 100% continued pay during illness and attractive pension benefits that grow with your years of service!
- Time to recharge: Five weeks’ holiday, six from age 50, plus free drinks from coffee to after-work beer.
- Genuine team spirit: Whether after-work drinks, barbecues, Christmas dinners, or anniversary trips: we like to celebrate successes together – and good team spirit is simply part of it for us.
Sound like you?
If you’re looking for a job that stays as unexciting as possible, we’re probably not your target. If you love technology, want responsibility, and want to push forward with us, we want to get to know you. A stiff standard cover letter is not necessary. Instead, write to us about what drives you, what you are professionally proud of, and why you fit ISTinox.
