## Description

As a Pipe Fitter / Welder, you'll fabricate, fit, and install piping systems that carry liquids and gases throughout maritime structures at pressures ranging from vacuum to thousands of PSI.

## Responsibilities

### Pipe Fitting

- Interpret engineering drawings, isometrics, P&IDs, and weld procedure specifications to fabricate and install piping systems

- Measure, cut, bevel, bend, and fit pipe and tubing, from small-bore instrument tubing to large-diameter piping

- Fit-up welded joints, silver-brazed joints, and mechanically fastened connections to tight tolerances

- Work across systems including hydraulic, lube oil, high- and low-pressure air, seawater, chilled water, potable water, and steam

- Install hangers, supports, and penetration pieces per drawing and spec

- Perform hydrostatic, flood, and pneumatic testing and build test boundaries, monitor gauges, and identify leaks

### Welding

- Perform NAVSEA-qualified welds on pipe and tube in all positions (1G–6G) using GTAW (TIG), SMAW (stick), or GMAW (MIG) processes as required

- Weld carbon steel, stainless steel, copper-nickel, and other alloys per applicable weld procedures

- Maintain weld certifications and pass re-qualification testing on schedule

- Perform silver brazing on piping joints per applicable procedures

- Prep joints (cleaning, purging, fit-up) to ensure radiographic- and ultrasonic-quality welds

### Quality & Compliance

- Groom completed systems and prepare for company, customer, and government inspections

- Document all work: weld maps, joint logs, NDE records, material traceability

- Identify and disposition non-conformances through proper channels

- Maintain compliance with NAVSEA, SUBSAFE, Level I, and SOC requirements as applicable

## Requirements

- High school diploma or GED

- 5+ years of pipefitting, welding, or related mechanical trade experience

- Proficiency in GTAW (TIG) welding on pipe in multiple positions

- Experience with fit-up to tight tolerances on welded and brazed joints

- Ability to pass weld qualification testing to applicable codes

- Willing to work any shift, overtime, and in all shop/field environments

## Preferred Qualifications

- NAVSEA or nuclear welding certifications (current or prior)

- Experience with SUBSAFE, Level I, or SOC-controlled piping systems

- Military shipbuilding, submarine construction, or naval shipyard experience

- Completion of apprenticeship, vocational program, or UA journeyman pipefitter certification

- Familiarity with MIL-STD-1688, NAVSEA Technical Publications, or AWS D1.1/D1.6

- Experience welding copper-nickel (CuNi), Monel, or other naval alloys

- Brazing certifications (AWS C3.4 or equivalent)

- Ability to obtain and maintain nuclear qualifications

- Active DoD security clearance (Secret or above)

## Physical Requirements

- Lift up to 50 lbs regularly and 75 lbs occasionally

- Climb, crawl, kneel, stoop, and work in confined and restricted spaces for extended periods

- Work in environments with variable temperatures, fumes, noise, and wet/oily conditions

- Maintain color vision adequate for weld inspection and system identification

- Stand and work in welding positions (overhead, vertical, horizontal) for full shifts
