Plastic Pipe-fitter / System Fabricator
About this role
Overview
We're hiring Plastic Piping System Fabricators for our indoor pipe-fabrication shop.
You'll build prefabricated plastic piping systems like fire suppression, sprinkler, irrigation, and industrial process lines, that ship out and install elsewhere. Working from blueprints and 3D layouts, you'll measure and cut HDPE, PVC, and other thermoplastic pipe, face and align the ends, then run butt, socket, and sidewall fusion equipment — watching temperature, pressure, and cycle time to make each joint leak-free. You'll take precise readings along the way to confirm every assembly is built to spec.
This is a growing line of business, fused plastic systems that can replace metal piping in commercial buildings. Everything is built in a clean, climate-controlled facility, then shipped to the job site.

- Indoor, climate-controlled work: Build in a clean shop, not on job sites.
- Learn a rare skill: Train on fusion processes used across the piping industry.

Compensation
- Pay: $22–30/hour, depending on experience.

Responsibilities
