PIPELINE FITTER

LOCATION:

Monaghan (Ireland), Bremerhaven (Germany), Rotterdam (Netherlands), Southampton (UK)

EMPLOYMENT:

Full-time, Temporary

Key responsibilities:

• Installation and installation of marine pipelines:

• Assembly, fitting and installation of piping systems on vessels, offshore platforms and other structures related to the marine industry.

• Working with different pipe materials (e.g. carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, PVC) and using different joining methods (e.g. welding, tapping, twisting) to ensure tight and durable systems.

• Installation of piping systems for applications such as fuel, water, HVAC and other systems critical to marine vessel operations.

Interpretation of technical drawings and specifications:

• Reading and interpreting detailed technical drawings, isometric drawings and installation specifications, especially in the context of marine equipment.

• Work based on shipyard plans and diagrams to ensure accurate layout and installation of piping systems.

• Use of pipe laying tools (e.g. spirit levels, protractors, measuring devices) to precisely fit and install pipes in the unit structure.

Quality Control & Inspection:

• Inspect installed pipe, flange and fitting connections for design compliance, tightness and integrity.

• Perform hydrostatic and pneumatic tests on installed systems to check tightness and pressure resistance.

• Routine inspections during installation to ensure that piping systems comply with high quality standards and marine regulations.

Troubleshooting and adaptation:

• Identify and troubleshoot matching or alignment issues that may occur during installation.

• Use problem-solving skills to deal with challenges related to limited space, angles, and configurations typical of marine environments.

• Propose and implement solutions for complex piping system layouts and configurations that require high precision.

Compliance with safety rules and maritime regulations:

• Strict adherence to safety protocols specific to the maritime industry, including the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE), confined space procedures and work at height.

• Compliance with marine safety regulations, including rules for fire prevention, handling of hazardous materials, and safe installation of pipes in key areas of the vessel.

• Ensuring compliance with all marine industry safety standards during installation and throughout the project lifecycle.

Collaboration and communication:

• Work closely with engineers, marine inspectors, project managers, and other team members to smoothly complete the tasks related to the equipment of the vessels.

• Clear and effective communication with supervisors about work progress, challenges and safety issues.

• Coordination with other professionals (e.g. electricians, welders) for timely and accurate installation of integrated systems.

Working conditions:

• Work in marine environments, including shipyards, offshore platforms, or vessels.

• Work in confined spaces, at heights and sometimes in harsh weather or environmental conditions.

• Personal protective equipment (PPE) is required, including helmets, gloves, safety footwear, eye and hearing protection.

• Possible exposure to hazardous materials, heavy equipment and working at height.

  
  

Technical proficiency in marine equipment:

• Proven experience in installing and fitting piping systems for vessels and offshore platforms, including fuel, HVAC, freshwater, and ballast systems.

• Knowledge of a variety of pipe materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, copper and PVC.

• Proficiency in various joining techniques such as welding, threading and twisting, especially in marine applications.

Certificates:

• Important certifications such as NCCER Pipefitting, ASME B31.3, Georg Fischer training, or other industry-specific certifications.

• Knowledge of marine industry standards such as ISO 9001, ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) regulations, and IMO (International Maritime Organization) codes will be an asset.

• Additional offshore and offshore certifications (e.g., confined spaces, offshore safety, welding certifications) will be welcome.

Experience:

• 3-5 years of experience in pipeline installation, preferably in marine equipment or offshore construction industry.

• Experience working on vessels or offshore structures (oil rigs, ships, offshore platforms) is highly preferred.

• Knowledge of high-specification piping systems and safety-critical installations is essential.

Quality Control & Inspection:

• Ability to inspect pipe, flange and fitting joints for tightness, alignment and integrity.

• Knowledge of testing methods, such as hydrostatic and pneumatic testing, to check the leakage of installed systems.

• Knowledge of safety rules:

• Strong understanding of safety protocols related to marine equipment, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), working in confined spaces, at height, and with hazardous materials.

• Ability to follow safety procedures and maintain a safe working environment, managing the unique challenges of the marine industry.

Physical Endurance and Problem Solving:

• The physical strength and fitness necessary to perform assembly tasks, including lifting, bending, and working in tight or elevated spaces.

• Strong problem-solving skills, especially when working with complex piping systems in confined space or in unique
