Steamfitters are craftsmen who install piping systems to carry water, steam, compressed air, gases and fluids needed for processing, manufacturing, heating and cooling. They install boilers, pumps, turbines, tanks, water treatment systems and other equipment. Steamfitters work with a wide variety of materials in many environments, because of this they must be able to adapt to their work and surroundings. Steamfitters work with both high and low pressure pipes, mainly in industrial and commercial applications.
Welders
Steamfitters often carry welding certifications to perform the most advanced and specialized work.
Welders are encouraged to reach out to our business agents to explore where their skills might fit best, or to learn whether transitioning into the apprenticeship program for Steamfitting would be a good opportunity for them.
