Pipe Fitter at Alan & Grant

Industry: Oil & Gas

Job Summary

• We are seeking a skilled and experienced Pipe Fitter to layout, cut, shape, fabricate, and install high-pressure piping systems, carbon steel/HDPE lines, and structural supports in accordance with engineering drawings and strict quality standards.
• The ideal candidate will work closely with welders and QC inspectors to ensure all piping spools and site tie-ins are precisely fitted, aligned, and ready for welding and testing.

Key Responsibilities

• Read and interpret complex engineering drawings, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and isometric drawings to plan layout and assembly sequence.
• Select, measure, cut, thread, and bend carbon steel, stainless steel, or HDPE pipes using hand tools, power tools, cutting torches, and pipe-cutting machinery.
• Align and fit pipes, fittings, flanges, elbows, and valves using levels, square rules, and alignment clamps in preparation for welding.
• Perform tack welding or secure components temporarily to hold assemblies in position according to Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS).
• Assemble and install pre-fabricated piping systems, utility lines, and equipment hook-ups both in the fabrication yard and out on project sites.
• Check dimensions, clearances, and alignments using precision measuring tools to ensure strict compliance with project specifications and isometric drawings.
• Coordinate with QC Inspectors during fit-up inspections to ensure zero defects and clear any alignment punch items before final welding begins.
• Strictly adhere to company Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) policies, including safe rigging, lifting, hot work, and proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

• Bachelor's Degree or Higher National Diploma (HND) in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Metallurgy, or a related technical discipline.
• National Diploma (OND), or relevant technical certification in Mechanical/Metal Fabrication.
• 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience as a Pipe Fitter within the oil & gas, EPC, heavy fabrication, or pipeline construction sector.
• Proven ability to read and interpret isometric drawings, P&IDs, and technical piping schematics.
• Strong practical knowledge of piping materials (carbon steel, alloy steel, HDPE), flanges, gaskets, and various fitting types (ANSI, ASME standards).
• Familiarity with workshop tools, cutting/grinding equipment, beveling machines, and basic tack welding.
• High regard for safety regulations (especially hot work safety, confined space entry, and rigging/lifting protocols).
• Strong physical stamina, teamwork, and attention to detail.
