Pipe Fitter Laborer
About The Position
D.C. Goodman & Sons is a full-service commercial mechanical contractor specializing in the sale, installation, and service of HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and sprinkler systems for commercial and institutional clients. This is a mid-level field role for someone who doesn’t need step-by-step guidance on standard commercial and industrial installs. You’ll work alongside a foreman and coordinate with other trades, but you’re expected to independently complete sections of large-scale system installs and take ownership of your work from start to inspection. The Fire Sprinkler Fitter installs, modifies, and maintains fire sprinkler systems on commercial and industrial job sites — executing installations to code, supporting inspections, and contributing to the overall success of each project with increasing independence.
Requirements
- 2–5 years of experience in commercial and industrial fire sprinkler installation
- Working knowledge of NFPA 13
- Ability to read blueprints and hydraulic calculations for larger, complex systems
- Proficient with hand and power tools, pipe threading and grooving machines

Responsibilities
- Install, assemble, and fit pipe, fittings, valves, and sprinkler heads for large-scale wet, dry, pre-action, and deluge systems per approved drawings and specifications
- Cut, thread, groove, and join pipe including larger-diameter industrial pipe using standard fitting methods
- Install and support overhead piping in high-bay warehouse and industrial environments, often working from lifts or at significant heights
- Read and interpret blueprints, shop drawings, and hydraulic calculations under guidance from a foreman
- Coordinate with other trades — electrical, HVAC, and structural — common on commercial and industrial sites
- Accurately track materials, time, and job progress across multi-phase projects
- Perform system pressure testing, flushing, and assist with fire marshal and AHJ inspections
- Identify and troubleshoot installation issues, escalating design-level problems to the foreman
- Catch and correct basic errors before they become inspection failures
- Maintain a safe, organized job site and follow all OSHA and NFPA safety standards
- Assist in training and mentoring entry-level apprentices as needed
Benefits
- Health insurance (medical, dental, vision)
