Ability to troubleshoot piping systems and perform pressure testing, inspection, modification, and repair.
Ability to work extended shifts, at height, and in industrial environments; able to lift and carry up to 50 lbs.

Lay out, fabricate, install, modify, and repair industrial process and utility piping from drawings, isometrics, P&IDs, field measurements, and project requirements.

Perform ProPress, MegaPress, Victaulic/grooved, threaded, soldered/brazed, and welded joining methods as required by the system and job scope.
Fit and weld carbon and stainless piping and components using appropriate MIG, TIG, and/or Stick processes based on demonstrated skill and project requirements.
Install process water, chilled water, compressed air, hydraulic, gas, steam, chemical, drain, and machine utility piping systems as applicable.
Install valves, regulators, strainers, supports, hangers, instrumentation connections, and equipment tie-ins.
Measure, cut, prep, fit, and assemble piping accurately; verify routing, slope, clearances, supports, and conformance with drawings and specifications.
Pressure-test, inspect, troubleshoot, and repair installed systems; identify and correct leaks, fit-up issues, and system deficiencies.
