Pipe Fitter.

The role Our client is looking for a Pipe Fitter to join them on a permanent, full-time basis in County Tipperary. This is a skilled mechanical pipe fitting role rather than plumbing work. You will install, assemble, fabricate, maintain and repair high- and low-pressure mechanical piping systems from drawings and specifications, and you will make sure that each system is fitted correctly, tested and left safe for use. The work suits a fitter who is comfortable reading technical drawings, works carefully and accurately, and can take a job from setting out through to final testing. What you will do Read and interpret isometric drawings, general arrangement drawings and specifications to plan each pipework job. Measure, mark out, cut, bevel, thread and bend pipe to the required dimensions. Fabricate pipe spools and sub-assemblies from drawings, ready for installation or welding. Assemble and install pipe runs, fittings, flanges, valves and supports, keeping alignment, levels and spacing within tolerance. Join pipework using the correct method for the material and pressure rating, such as threading, bolting up flanged joints or fitting up joints for welding. Carry out pressure and leak testing on completed systems and correct any faults you find. Maintain, repair and modify existing high- and low-pressure piping systems when required. Follow safe systems of work, permits and method statements, and keep your work area tidy and safe. Look after your tools and equipment and report any defects or material shortages promptly.
