Industrial Pipe Welder / Pipefitter
About The Position
Murphy’s Family Staffing is recruiting an experienced Industrial Pipe Welder / Pipefitter for direct-hire industrial mechanical projects throughout Central and Eastern Pennsylvania. This is a field and/or shop role focused on fitting, laying out, fabricating, installing, and welding industrial piping systems—not production welding. Projects may involve process, utility, and sanitary piping, as well as plant maintenance, shutdowns, equipment installations, and related mechanical work. The position is based around the Palmyra, Pennsylvania shop, with most projects within approximately 1.5 hours, including the Harrisburg, Lancaster, and Allentown areas. Work may require travel to customer facilities and take place inside active industrial and manufacturing plants. The role pays $30–$40 per hour, based on experience, welding ability, pipefitting skills, and overall industrial background. Candidates able to independently fit, lay out, fabricate, and weld industrial piping systems may be considered toward the top of the range. Overtime, weekend work, early starts, and a weld test—including 6G welding when required—may be part of the position.
