Pipe Fitter

Key Responsibilities
1. Advanced Installation & Fabrication:
*
Fabricate and install complex pipework systems from isometric drawings and P&IDs, working with materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex, and exotic alloys.
*
Perform precise cutting, threading, grooving, and bending of pipes using manual, powered, and CNC tools.
*
Fit, align, and bolt up flanges, valves, strainers, and other components to exact specifications, ensuring correct gasket selection and bolt torque.
*
Assemble and install large prefabricated pipe spools and modules.
2. Interpretation & Planning:
*
Read, interpret, and implement complex isometric drawings, Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), and general arrangement drawings.
*
Plan the sequence of work, identify potential clashes with other services (e.g., electrical, structural), and propose solutions.
3. Quality & Precision:
*
Ensure all work is within strict dimensional and alignment tolerances (typically ±1-2mm).
*
Perform self-inspection of work to ensure it meets project quality standards and specifications.
*
Prepare pipe ends for welding to the required standard (e.g., correct bevel angles, root face, and gap).v
