Shipboard Piping Layout Technician

Shape the Arteries of a Newbuild

Before the sparks fly, you’re on deck with drawings in hand—scanning system layouts, planning routes, and staging materials. As the shift ramps up, you verify measurements, prep copper‑nickel, stainless, steel, and galvanized runs, and set valves and fittings so every line hits its mark. By day’s end, another critical system is aligned, tested for fit, and ready for the next craft to tie in.

Compensation

$52.99 per hour + $180 per day per diem

What You’ll Tackle

• Plan, fit, and install complex shipboard piping systems using copper‑nickel, stainless, steel, and galvanized materials.
