Our client, a growing design/build firm specializing in industrial refrigeration systems, is seeking a Pipefitter Foreman (Field Supervisor) to join their construction team based in Fairless Hills, PA.

In this role, you’ll lead a small team of pipe fitters and welders to install custom industrial refrigeration systems, including piping assemblies, compressors, and mechanical skids. You’ll be hands‑on in pipe layout, fitting, and installation, while ensuring all work meets quality, safety, and technical standards. Projects vary from smaller retrofits to larger greenfield installations, providing a dynamic, fast‑paced environment with opportunities to mentor and develop crew members.

You’ll collaborate closely with project managers, engineers, and safety teams to interpret blueprints, P&IDs, flow diagrams, and CAD drawings, manage materials and equipment, and keep projects on track. This is a high‑impact role for a skilled pipefitter who thrives on problem‑solving, leading by example, and maintaining high‑quality standards.

If you’re a skilled pipefitter ready to level up, lead a crew, and take ownership of complex, hands‑on projects that demand technical excellence and strong problem‑solving skills, we encourage you to apply!

• Lead and supervise a small crew of pipe fitters and welders to ensure accurate, safe, and efficient installation of refrigeration systems.
• Interpret blueprints, P&IDs, flow diagrams, and CAD mechanical layouts to determine pipe routing and installation requirements.

• Travel locally as required to job sites across the Greater Philadelphia area, Western PA, South Jersey, and Delaware, with rare overnight stays for larger projects.
• Participate in safety meetings, company training programs, and ongoing development initiatives.

• 5+ years of hands‑on pipe fitting experience in industrial or commercial settings. Industrial refrigeration experience is a plus but not required.
• Proficiency in reading blueprints, P&IDs, flow diagrams, and CAD mechanical layouts.
• Hands‑on experience with pipe layout, fitting, cutting, and welding; comfortable using standard hand and power tools.
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to manage, mentor, and motivate a small crew.
