Fabricate Pipes: Measure, cut, thread, and bend pipes to precise dimensions per engineering drawings and process specifications; document as-built dimensions in quality management systems

Secure and Join Pipe Sections: Join pipe sections using welding, brazing, soldering, or threaded fittings in accordance with work instructions and engineering requirements; ensure proper torque and alignment of all connections

Support Subassembly Integration: Support integration of piping subassemblies into larger system packages including instrumentation hookup, valve installation, hangers, and supports

Test and Verify Safety: Perform hydrostatic and pneumatic pressure tests to detect leaks and verify system integrity; document test results and report findings in quality management systems

Troubleshoot and Diagnose: Diagnose piping system malfunctions; replace worn or failed components such as valves, seals, gaskets, and hangers; support disposition and corrective action activities

Perform In-Process Inspections: Utilize precision measurement tools (micrometers, dial indicators, torque wrenches, calipers) to verify fit-up, alignment, and dimensional compliance
