Pipefitter

Duties and Responsibilities

• Level I (Entry-Level): Assist experienced pipefitters with basic layout, cutting, threading, fitting, assembly, and installation of piping systems, supports, and hangers under direct supervision; perform general site support (tool/parts prep, material handling/loading/unloading, cleanup); participate in safety briefings and learn wet-side HVAC basics through on-the-job training.
• Level II (Mid-Level): Independently handle routine to moderately complex repairs, replacements, and maintenance of piping, supports, valves, and equipment; perform layout, assembly, pressure testing, leak detection, and basic system checks; lead standard calls, document work accurately, and begin mentoring Level I pipefitters by demonstrating techniques and safety practices.
• Level III (Senior/Journeyman-Level): Lead advanced installations, modifications, and repairs of complex piping systems with minimal supervision; perform troubleshooting, welding/brazing, system balancing, startups, and commissioning; provide daily guidance, coaching, and technical direction to Levels I–II; ensure code compliance and high-quality customer communication.
• Level IV (Master/Lead-Level): Collaborate with General Foreman, Superintendent, and Project Manager to develop project-specific task plans, labor/material requirements, takeoffs, and field surveys; oversee daily crew functions, scheduling, inspections, weekly reports (safety/production), and startup coordination; proactively resolve issues, train/mentor the team on advanced techniques and safety, and drive efficiency across jobsites.

Requirements/Qualifications

• Level I: 0–3 years in construction, labor, mechanical, or related field; no prior commercial piping experience required—strong mechanical aptitude and eagerness to learn essential.
• Level II: 3–5 years in piping installation, repair, or construction (commercial/industrial or HVAC/wet-side preferred); demonstrated ability to work independently on routine to moderately complex tasks.
• Level III: 5+ years with journeyman-level proficiency; proven mastery in diagnosing/resolving advanced issues independently.
• Level IV: 5+ years (typically 8–10+ preferred) with full mastery; experience leading crews, planning execution, and managing complex jobs.

Physical Demands

• Ability to regularly lift/carry up to 50 lbs, climb ladders/scaffolding/stairs, work in confined spaces or at heights, bend/kneel/crouch, reach overhead, and use tools/equipment for extended periods; frequent standing, walking, manual dexterity, and physical stamina required.

Work Environment/Safety

• Primarily field-based in commercial/industrial settings (indoor/outdoor, mechanical rooms, rooftops, varying weather); exposure to noise, dust, heights, welding hazards, chemicals, and confined-space risks; must adhere to OSHA regulations, conduct hazard identification, and wear required PPE (hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, harnesses, steel-toed boots) at all times—safety is our top priority and non-negotiable.
