Strong company leadership
Expanding its project range
John Fraider — Director
Jay Cee Welding is currently working to attain HERA Steel Fabricators Certification to CC3, which will enable it to fabricate and erect high-rise buildings and high-spec projects.
Jay Cee Welding owner, John Fraider, has extensive experience within the structural steel industry and is still actively involved in all aspects of the company. John served his time during 1968-72 at the Railways workshop in Otahuhu as a boilermaker right at the time when riveting was ending and welding, particularly Mig welding, was taking over. He worked for a number of large engineering and construction companies before establishing his own business. “I started in 1990 with two men and today, employ a staff of 22.” John heads up a strong management team and workforce and is particularly active in site tasks, health and safety, production and control of site-based activities.

She plays an integral role in keeping the rest of the staff in line and focused. Sanjay Prakash — Quality and estimation manager Sanjay is another long-time employee, having served over 12 years with John as a fabricator, and is now happily established in the main office, helping with implementation of SFC, QA and estimating projects. This is a key role within Jay Cee Welding, which benefits from Sanjay’s positive attitude.
While the company has already been involved in building high-rise buildings to 32 storeys, the Auckland City Council and SCNZ is requiring all steel fabricators involved in highrise building work to be certified to CC3 next year. “We have all the processes for gaining CC3 certification in place now and we plan to have achieved certification this year,” John says. Jay Cee Welding has recently completed structural steel on a number of apartments in Auckland, including Summerset Village in Ellerslie, Queens Square, and The Vulcan in Auckland’s CBD. “We have also done the new shopping complex in Walters Road, a seismic upgrade at 125 Queen Street, the 396 Queen Street Hotel and the Rosedale Road apartments, to name a few,” John says. “We work closely with our clients to save time and money and be efficient and accurate, first time. Most of our projects are in Auckland but we have sent work up to the Pacific islands as well.”
A history of success John says one of the key reasons for the success of Jay Cee Welding is the company is small enough to care about every job it does, whether it is a large multi-storey commercial project or a residential house. “I keep a tight rein on things and make sure we do it right and on time, the first time,” he says. “We are small, close-knit team and we take pride in our work. The team has been together quite a while.”
