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.
