Position Overview We are seeking an experienced Industrial Pipefitter / Welder with a strong background in manufacturing and industrial process piping. The ideal candidate is comfortable laying out, fitting, installing, modifying, and repairing piping systems using a broad range of materials and joining methods. This is not a commercial plumbing position; we need someone who understands machine/process piping and can work independently as part of a multi-trade industrial installation crew. Key Responsibilities • Lay out, fabricate, install, modify, and repair industrial process and utility piping from drawings, isometrics, P&IDs, field measurements, and project requirements. • Work with PVC, CPVC, copper, galvanized, stainless steel, black steel, and other industrial piping materials. • Perform ProPress, MegaPress, Victaulic/grooved, threaded, soldered/brazed, and welded joining methods as required by the system and job scope. • Fit and weld carbon and stainless piping and components using appropriate MIG, TIG, and/or Stick processes based on demonstrated skill and project requirements. • Install process water, chilled water, compressed air, hydraulic, gas, steam, chemical, drain, and machine utility piping systems as applicable. • Install valves, regulators, strainers, supports, hangers, instrumentation connections, and equipment tie-ins. • Measure, cut, prep, fit, and assemble piping accurately; verify routing, slope, clearances, supports, and conformance with drawings and specifications. • Pressure-test, inspect, troubleshoot, and repair installed systems; identify and correct leaks, fit-up issues, and system deficiencies. • Operate forklifts, hoists, lifts, and other material-handling equipment as qualified; work at height and in active industrial environments. • Coordinate closely with plumbers, millwrights, electricians, controls technicians, and project leadership on integrated machine installation and relocation projects. • Maintain strict compliance with jobsite safety requirements, LOTO, confined-space procedures, hotwork requirements, and company policies. Required Qualifications • Minimum 3 years of hands-on industrial pipefitting experience in manufacturing, process, or heavyindustrial environments. • Demonstrated ability to lay out and install piping systems from prints, isometrics, P&IDs, and field measurements. • Working proficiency with multiple pipe materials including PVC/CPVC, copper, galvanized, stainless steel, and black steel. • Experience with several joining methods such as ProPress, MegaPress, Victaulic/grooved, threaded, soldered/brazed, and welded systems. • Demonstrated welding and pipe-fit-up capability appropriate to industrial installation work. • Ability to troubleshoot piping systems and perform pressure testing, inspection, modification, and repair. • Ability to work extended shifts, at height, and in industrial environments; able to lift and carry up to 50 lbs. • Valid driver's license and willingness to travel, including overnight and weekend assignments. Preferred Qualifications • OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification. • Confined Space Entry certification. • AWS or other relevant welding certification, or demonstrated TIG/Stick pipe-welding proficiency. • Experience with machine/process piping, plant relocations, utility tie-ins, wastewater, chillers, or chemical/process systems. • Forklift, aerial lift, or rigging training.
