Master Pipefitter — Lead Complex Piping Projects

Pipefitter I - IV

Sign On Bonus Eligible - depending on experience

As a Pipefitter (Levels I–IV), you’ll play a critical role in commercial mechanical service and installation, progressing from entry‑level assistance to master‑level expertise in wet‑side piping systems (hydronic heating, chilled water, steam, boilers, chillers, process piping) for buildings, hospitals, schools, and industrial facilities nationwide. Work on diverse, hands‑on projects—from basic support and repairs to leading complex installations, crew oversight, project planning, and system commissioning—collaborating with teams, foremen, and clients to deliver code‑compliant, safe, and efficient piping solutions that support sustainable building performance.

Our people‑first culture invests in your growth at every level with structured training, mentorship, apprenticeships, certifications (e.g., welding, backflow, OSHA), and clear advancement paths, empowering you to build a rewarding career while contributing to reliable infrastructure that keeps communities comfortable and operational.

• Level I (Entry‑Level):
  Assist experienced pipe fitters with basic layout, cutting, threading, fitting, assembly, and installation of piping systems, supports, and hangers under direct supervision; perform general site support (tool/parts prep, material handling/loading/unloading, cleanup); participate in safety briefings and learn wet‑side HVAC basics through on‑the‑job training. Pay range: $22‑28 per hour.
• Level II (Mid‑Level):
  Independently handle routine to moderately complex repairs, replacements, and maintenance of piping, supports, valves, and equipment; perform layout, assembly, pressure testing, leak detection, and basic system checks; lead standard calls, document work accurately, and begin mentoring Level I pipe fitters by demonstrating techniques and safety practices. Pay range: $28‑32 per hour.
• Level III (Senior/Journeyman‑Level):
  Lead advanced installations, modifications, and repairs of complex piping systems with minimal supervision; perform troubleshooting, welding/brazing, system balancing, startups, and commissioning; provide daily guidance, coaching, and technical direction to Levels I–II; ensure code compliance and high‑quality customer communication. Pay range: $32‑36 per hour.
• Level IV (Master/Lead‑Level):
  Collaborate with General Foreman, Superintendent, and Project Manager to develop project‑specific task plans, labor/material requirements, take‑offs, and field surveys; oversee daily crew functions, scheduling, inspections, weekly reports (safety/production), and startup coordination; proactively resolve issues, train/mentor the team on advanced techniques and safety, and drive efficiency across jobsites. Pay range: $34‑38 per hour.

• Level I & II:
  None (individual contributor; may offer informal guidance to lower levels).
• Level III:
  Provides coaching, mentoring, and technical guidance to Levels I–II; may act as first‑level lead on jobsite sections or small crews.
• Level IV:
  Direct leadership and supervision of pipe fitting crews; delegates tasks, monitors performance/safety/compliance, resolves conflicts, and collaborates with field leadership.

• Experience (varies by level):
  • Level I: 0–3 years in construction, labor, mechanical, or related field; no prior commercial piping experience required—strong mechanical aptitude and eagerness to learn essential.
  • Level II: 3–5 years in piping installation, repair, or construction (commercial/industrial or HVAC/wet‑side preferred); demonstrated ability to work independently on routine to moderately complex tasks.
  • Level III: 5+ years with journeyman‑level proficiency; proven mastery in diagnosing/resolving advanced issues independently.
  • Level IV: 5+ years (typically 8–10+ preferred) with full mastery; experience leading crews, planning execution, and managing complex jobs.
