Job Summary

The Construction Mechanical Piping Technician is responsible for the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of mechanical piping systems within our advanced semiconductor manufacturing facility. This includes systems such as EXH (Exhaust), PCW (Process Cooling Water), and various piping support systems. Depending on experience level, responsibilities may range from assisting with basic pipe joining and material handling to independently leading teams, conducting complex inspections, and optimizing system performance.

All technicians are expected to adhere strictly to safety, quality, and cleanliness protocols in a high-tech industrial environment.

• Install and maintain mechanical piping systems, ensuring proper routing, secure connections, and compliance with regulations, industry standards, and cleanroom protocols.
• Perform tasks such as cutting, threading, joining, and bending pipes using various techniques, including welding, brazing, compression fittings, and mechanical coupling.
• Read and interpret technical diagrams, blueprints, schematics, and P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) to ensure proper installation and system functionality.
• Conduct pressure testing, leak testing, and system inspections to ensure the safety, reliability, and proper operation of piping installations.
• Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical piping issues, including misalignments, system leaks, and performance verification, during installation and operation.
• Assist with or perform material handling, equipment setup, and cleanup tasks, maintaining a safe and organized workspace.
• Maintain accurate records of piping installations, repairs, and inspections for project documentation.
• Collaborate with other trades (electrical, structural, process piping, HVAC) and project stakeholders (managers, engineers) to ensure seamless integration and resolve technical challenges.
• Participate in on-the-job training and classroom instruction to develop technical skills and proficiency.
• Depending on experience, may lead and supervise teams, coordinate daily activities, manage schedules, provide mentorship, and optimize workflows.
