Position Summary:
The Journeyperson Pipefitter is responsible for the installation, fabrication, and testing of high-purity piping systems supporting advanced semiconductor manufacturing. This role requires a strong background in pipefitting, with emphasis on orbital welding, high-purity tube installation, and cleanroom construction protocols.

Working under the direction of a Foreman or General Foreman, the craft worker will perform hands-on installation in cleanroom and sub-fab environments, ensuring all work meets SEMI, ASME B31.3, ASTM, and project-specific standards.

Key Responsibilities:

Install, fit, and weld high-purity piping and tubing systems (stainless steel, PVDF, polypropylene, and other materials) in semiconductor cleanroom facilities.
Perform orbital welding, hand welding, and tube bending in compliance with strict cleanliness and quality standards.
Interpret and work from P&IDs, isometric drawings, and spool sheets to complete installations with precision.
Follow SEMI S2, ASME B31.3, ASTM, and client-specific piping standards.
Conduct field routing, fit-up, and alignment of process piping assemblies.
Execute system flushing, leak testing, and turnover documentation (including weld logs and as-builts).
Adhere to all OSHA 29 CFR 1926, site safety, and cleanroom protocols, including use of PPE and bunny suits.
Participate in daily toolbox talks, JSAs, and permit-to-work systems (LOTO, confined space, hot work).
Work collaboratively with QA/QC, commissioning, and other trades to achieve project milestones.
Maintain clean, organized work areas that meet ISO cleanroom classifications.

Qualifications:

Journeyperson Pipefitter (Red Seal, NCCER, UA, or equivalent).
2+ years of high-purity or semiconductor piping experience (installation, orbital welding, tube bending).
Strong working knowledge of ASME B31.3, SEMI standards, and high-purity material handling protocols.
Ability to read and interpret isometric drawings, spool sheets, and P&IDs.
Proficiency in orbital welding machines, tube bending equipment, and cleanroom-compatible tools.
OSHA 30 (or equivalent) required; NCCER Plus or UA training certifications preferred.
Strong focus on safety, quality, and attention to detail in controlled environments.

Working Conditions:

Work performed in semiconductor cleanrooms, sub-fab areas, and active construction zones.
Must be physically capable of climbing, lifting, kneeling, and working in confined or elevated spaces.
Frequent use of cleanroom PPE (bunny suits, gloves, respirators, face shields).
Exposure to construction site noise, height, and variable conditions.
Flexibility to work extended hours, off-shifts, weekends, and call-outs to meet tool-installation milestones.
