pipe fitters
Pipeline assembly workers
Pipe fitters are skilled tradespeople who install and maintain piping systems that carry liquids, gases, or other substances.
They work with pipes in industrial settings—factories, power plants, refineries—handling high-pressure systems, steam lines, and hydraulic equipment.
The work overlaps with plumbing but typically involves larger-scale industrial applications rather than residential water and drainage.
The pipe fitters union negotiated a new contract.
