Pipefitter Apprenticeship Program

A journeyman pipefitter installs, maintains, and repairs piping systems in various settings, including industrial plants and commercial buildings. The skills needed are reading blueprints, measuring, cutting, bending, and joining pipes, as well as testing and troubleshooting systems. Journeymen typically work independently or under the supervision of a supervisor, following safety guidelines and using the appropriate tools and equipment.
