SemiConXA day in the life

You start your shift by reviewing 2D drawings and blueprints for the day’s work. You verify routes, elevations, and tie-in points, then stage the right piping materials—carbon steel, stainless, PVC, and specialty alloys—based on process and spec. After coordinating with engineers, project managers, and other trades, you get to work fabricating, fitting, and securing lines. Your welding skills (TIG, MIG, stick) come into play to create clean, reliable connections.

You install supports, brackets, and hangers to ensure stability and mitigate stress. Before turning over a line, you conduct hydrostatic or pneumatic tests to validate system integrity, document results, and resolve any findings. Throughout the day, you follow ASME, ANSI, OSHA, and company safety standards and help junior team members learn best practices. You finish by updating records of materials, work completed, and any modifications for future reference.
