About The Position

Skillforce is hiring Journeyman level Pipefitters for a long-term infrastructure project inside an active tunnel in Chesapeake, VA. This is a 2-year long project with a reputable industrial contractor paying $42.49/hour. As a Journeyman Pipefitter you are responsible for mechanical pipe fitting, no welding, no brazing, no systems work. You'll be fitting 12-inch stainless steel pipe in an underground tunnel environment. The work is repetitive and physical, not complex but it demands focus, reliability, and the ability to commit to a full day on site. This job operates inside a working tunnel. Once your crew departs each morning, you are on site for the full shift. There are no food trucks or nearby restaurants — bring your lunch. If this doesn't work for your lifestyle, this isn't the right fit.

Requirements

5 or more years of journeyman level pipefitting experience.
Ability to lay out and fit large diameter pipe from mechanical drawings.
Comfortable working underground in an enclosed work zone for a full shift.
Ability to bring own meals and drinks because there are no food services near the work zone.
Possession of standard PPE including a chin strap hard hat, Level 3 cut-resistant gloves, and safety glasses.
Ability to pass a pre-employment drug screen and background check.
Authorized to work in the U.S.

Responsibilities

Fit and assemble 12-inch stainless steel pipe to drawings inside an underground tunnel.
Handle mechanical fitting only, with no welding, no brazing, and no systems work in this scope.
Work inside a controlled-access underground work zone, entering with the crew at the start of the shift and leaving when the crew returns at the end of the day.
Hold a steady pace on repetitive, physical work that rewards focus and reliability over complexity.
Support the material handling crew with staging and positioning pipe at the work face.
