Pipefitter A

About the Role

Responsibilities include reading and interpreting blueprints, ISO field installations, material takeoffs and sketches, and following specifications. The pipefitter fabricates and installs various pipe types—including screw, socket‑weld, stainless tubing, carbon steel weld, and stainless steel weld—performs mitering, beveling, and layout for pipe penetrations, and installs piping in racks, valves, hangers, supports, underground pipe, steam and heat tracing, and properly bolts pipe and valve flanges. They also assist other craft workers as needed. • Read and interpret blueprints, ISO installations, material takeoffs, and field sketches. • Fabricate and install screw, socket‑weld, stainless tubing, carbon steel weld, and stainless steel weld pipe. • Perform mitering, beveling, and layout for pipe penetrations. • Install piping in racks, valves, hangers, supports, underground pipe, and steam/heat tracing. • Assist other craft workers as needed. • Use hand and power tools (electric, gas, pneumatic) and operate climbing equipment.
