You’ll be working with a variety of tools and machines, including bending machines, saws, and angle grinders, so solid technical skills are a must. In addition, you should be capable of independently tack-welding the piping systems using a T.I.G. welding machine when required.

• Tack-welding pipework using a T.I.G. welding machine
• Working with pipes of various wall thicknesses and diameters (thin- and thick-walled)
• Properly clamping and assembling pipe sections

What You Bring to the Table

• A collaborative attitude, but also the confidence to work independently
• A proactive approach – you take initiative and get the job done
• Experience with pipefitting tools and machinery
• Possession of a VCA certificate
• A solid command of English or Dutch (minimum B1/B2 level)
• A valid driver’s license is a plus

About the Company
