• 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.
