Pipefitting

Are you a little bit of a perfectionist? Do you enjoy reading blueprints and making something useful? Consider training to become a pipefitter. Pipefitters/fabricators plan and install detailed pipe systems for commercial and industrial projects. These pipes may carry water, chemicals or gases to the crucial building systems. Pipefitters/fabricators use many tools to cut and bend pipes to exact specifications.

Responsibilities include preparing, fabricating, installing, and fitting pipe to specifications, installing valves, hangers, supports and flanges inside piping system, performing tests to ensure the quality of pipe and piping systems and hoisting loads using slings, chains, shackles, hooks, cables, and other rigging equipment.
