Pipefitter – Chilled Water Systems | Mechanical Installer
About The Position
GTI Energy is seeking a Mechanical Installer – Chilled Water Systems to support installation and integration of industrial piping systems within modular builds. This role is responsible for assembling pre-fabricated pipe spools, installing chilled water piping systems, and connecting mechanical equipment including pumps, valves, and related components. This position is not a welding role. The Mechanical Installer focuses on pipe fit-up, alignment, flange connections, and system integration using isometric drawings and Bill of Materials (BOM). Success in this role requires strong understanding of mechanical systems, piping layout, and installation within tight, production-driven environments.
Requirements
- 2–5 years of experience as a Pipefitter, Mechanical Installer, or Industrial Pipe Installer
- Experience installing piping systems in industrial, modular, or mechanical environments
- Strong ability to read isometric drawings, P&IDs, and mechanical layouts
- Experience with pipe installation, flange alignment, and mechanical system assembly
- Familiarity with chilled water systems, cooling systems, or mechanical piping
- Ability to calculate offsets, angles, and perform basic layout work
Nice To Haves
- Experience in modular construction, skid-based manufacturing, or system integration environments
- Background in industrial HVAC, chilled water systems, or process piping
- Experience installing pumps, valves, and mechanical equipment
- Exposure to Lean Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement, or structured problem solving
- OSHA 10/30 or similar safety certifications
