Senior Pipefitter

About The Team

The Launch team operates at the intersection of every major aspect of Terran R, from stages and payloads to ground systems, launch, landing, and refurbishment. The Cape is the only place where you see it all come together, offering a level of exposure and responsibility unmatched elsewhere in the program. This is where first flights happen, where history is built on top of history, and where the scale of what's underway is unlike anything in modern aerospace. The mission stays the same, but the work evolves with every milestone: from first launch to reuse, high-cadence operations, and beyond. If you're looking to define what's next in space launch and write a new playbook, not just repeat what's already been done, this is where it happens.

About The Role

As a Fitter on the Launch Team, you will be responsible for fabricating and fitting critical piping systems that support the Terran R launch site, including process piping, utility systems, and other ground support infrastructure. You will work closely with engineering, fabrication, and construction teams to ensure piping systems are installed safely, accurately, and to the highest quality standards. Your expertise in pipe fitting, attention to detail, in both shop and field environments will be essential to building reliable systems that support launch operations.

About You

• You have 5+ years of professional pipe fitting, fabrication, construction, or mechanical experience, with demonstrated experience working on industrial piping systems
• You can independently read and interpret isometric drawings, P&IDs, blueprints, spool drawings, dimensions, elevations, and piping specifications to plan and execute piping installations
• You have strong hands-on experience with measuring, layout, cutting, beveling, grinding, drilling, fit-up, alignment, and preparation of pipe, fittings, flanges, valves, supports, and other piping components
• You can independently fabricate and install carbon steel, stainless steel, and other piping systems, while meeting project specifications, quality standards, and safety requirements
• You can identify and troubleshoot fit-up, alignment, dimensional, and installation issues and make sound decisions to resolve field challenges efficiently
• You can effectively coordinate with other trades and lead or mentor less-experienced pipe fitters, providing direction and ensuring work is completed safely and to specification
• You're comfortable safely operating or directing the use of forklifts, reach lifts, man lifts, rigging equipment, and other shop and field equipment, and can safely perform physically demanding work in industrial environments
