Pipefitter I - IVPosition Overview
As a Pipefitter (Levels I–IV), you'll play a critical role in commercial mechanical service and installation, progressing from entry-level assistance to master-level expertise in wet-side piping systems (hydronic heating, chilled water, steam, boilers, chillers, process piping) for buildings, hospitals, schools, and industrial facilities nationwide. Work on diverse, hands-on projects—from basic support and repairs to leading complex installations, crew oversight, project planning, and system commissioning—collaborating with teams, foremen, and clients to deliver code-compliant, safe, and efficient piping solutions that support sustainable building performance. Our people-first culture invests in your growth at every level with structured training, mentorship, apprenticeships, certifications (e.g., welding, backflow, OSHA), and clear advancement paths, empowering you to build a rewarding career while contributing to reliable infrastructure that keeps communities comfortable and operational.
Duties and Responsibilities Duties vary by level, with increasing independence, complexity, leadership, and responsibility:
- 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.
