Job description

Pipefitter - Commercial Construction

Kodiak Labor Solutions | Chesterfield, VA • East Richmond, VA • Thornburg, VA
$30-$39/hour | Full-Time | Temp-to-Hire

Kodiak Labor Solutions is hiring experienced pipefitters for commercial mechanical construction projects at three separate jobsite locations: Chesterfield, East Richmond, and Thornburg, VA.

These are full-time, temp-to-hire opportunities for experienced commercial pipefitters who can read drawings, lay out piping, cut and thread pipe, install piping systems, and work safely and productively on an active construction site.

You will be assigned to a project location based on hiring needs and fit - these are separate jobsites, not a position requiring daily travel between all three locations.

If you can take a commercial piping installation from layout through pressure testing, we want to talk with you.

For You

• $30-$39/hour, based on experience
• Full-time commercial construction work
• Temp-to-hire opportunity
• Multiple project locations in the Richmond/Central Virginia area
• Opportunity for long-term employment based on performance and project needs

What You Will Do

• Read blueprints, drawings, and specifications to determine piping layouts and installation requirements
• Lay out, measure, cut, thread, fit, assemble, and install commercial piping systems
• Install pipe, valves, fittings, supports, and related piping components
• Work with piping materials including steel, iron, copper, brass, and plastic
• Use pipe cutters, Port-a-Band saws, reciprocating saws, torches, threading machines, and other pipefitting tools
• Join piping using threading, grooving, soldering, brazing, fittings, and solvent-weld methods
• Lay out pipe runs, connections, penetrations, openings, and equipment connections
• Install piping accurately according to drawings, measurements, elevations, and specifications
• Pressure-test completed piping systems and identify and repair leaks
• Recognize potential installation conflicts and communicate issues before they affect the work
• Coordinate piping installations with HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and other construction trades
• Maintain a productive work area and follow all company, OSHA, and jobsite safety requirements

What We Are Seeking

• 4+ years of commercial pipefitting or mechanical construction experience
• Hands-on experience installing piping systems on commercial construction projects
• Ability to read and work independently from blueprints, drawings, and specifications
• Strong experience with pipe layout, measurement, cutting, threading, fitting, grooving, and installation
• Experience with steel, iron, copper, and/or plastic piping systems
• Working knowledge of threaded, grooved, soldered, and brazed piping systems
• Ability to accurately determine pipe runs, measurements, elevations, and connection points
• Experience pressure-testing piping and troubleshooting leaks
• Knowledge of applicable OSHA safety requirements and piping/plumbing codes
• Ability to identify field conflicts and make sound installation decisions
• Ability to work independently while coordinating effectively with foremen and other trades
• Strong commitment to safety, quality, productivity, and teamwork

Why Join Us?

Kodiak Labor Solutions connects experienced skilled trades professionals with commercial construction opportunities where their skills matter.

With three active project locations in Chesterfield, East Richmond, and Thornburg, we're looking for pipefitters who want steady commercial construction work, competitive hourly pay, and the opportunity to turn a temp-to-hire position into long-term employment.
