Pipefitters (II - IV

Pipefitter II - IV

As a Pipefitter (Levels II - IV), you'll play a critical role in commercial mechanical service and installation, progressing from mid-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.

Duties and Responsibilities Duties vary by level, with increasing independence, complexity, leadership, and responsibility:

• 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.
• 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.
• Level IV - Equivalent to a journeyman role, this position requires at least 6+ years of experience and mastery in piping and wet side HVAC applications. The Pipefitter IV works independently, handling the repair and replacement of piping systems, pipe supports, and equipment for heating and cooling in commercial and industrial settings. Additionally, this technician is responsible for performing equipment startups and checkouts without supervision.
  
  This technician also has at least 3 years as a lead.

All levels:
Enforce and uphold strict safety protocols (daily hazard assessments, toolbox talks, PPE usage); document work, progress, and incidents accurately; actively pursue personal/professional growth in piping systems, codes, and technologies.

Supervisory Responsibilities Varies by level:

• Level 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:
  Works mostly independently.
