Pipe fitter

We are seeking an experienced Pipefitter to support the build and assembly of industrial machinery and machine tool equipment. This position requires hands-on experience working with steel and stainless-steel tubing, including bending, fitting, routing, and installation.

• Bend, fit, route, and install steel and stainless-steel tubing
• Perform hand bending and bench bending of tubing
• Measure, cut, and prepare tubing for installation
• Install and connect rigid tubing/hard-line systems on industrial machinery
• Read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and machine drawings
• Determine proper tubing routes and connection points based on prints
• Complete tubing installations according to machine specifications
• Inspect completed work for proper fit, routing, and quality
• Work alongside machine builders, electricians, and other skilled trades during equipment assembly
• Follow established safety and quality procedures

Requirements

• 7+ years of pipefitting or comparable skilled-trade experience
• Experience working with steel and stainless-steel tubing
• Strong hand-bending and bench-bending experience
• Experience with rigid/hard-line tubing required; hose-only experience will not qualify
• Experience with pneumatic, hydraulic, coolant, and lubrication systems
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and machine drawings
• Experience building or servicing CNC machine tools, special machines, robotics, or automated manufacturing equipment strongly preferred
• Ability to measure, bend, fit, route, and install tubing according to specifications
• Experience testing piping systems and identifying leaks
• Skilled trade certification as a Pipefitter is preferred, but equivalent hands-on experience will be considered
• Ability to provide guidance and on-the-job training to less-experienced Pipefitters and apprentices
