Pipe Assembly Technician

Company OverviewGTI Energy operates in a contract manufacturing and industrial manufacturing environment focused on building and integrating complex modular systems. Our production model includes fabrication, assembly, electrical integration, and mechanical system installation within a high-mix, engineered-to-order environment. We support modular infrastructure including cooling systems, power systems, and system-level builds where precision, quality, and execution are critical.Position OverviewGTI Energy is seeking a Mechanical Installer – Chilled Water Systems to support installation and integration of industrial piping systems within modular builds. This role is responsible for assembling pre-fabricated pipe spools, installing chilled water piping systems, and connecting mechanical equipment including pumps, valves, and related components.This position is not a welding role. The Mechanical Installer focuses on pipe fit-up, alignment, flange connections, and system integration using isometric drawings and Bill of Materials (BOM). Success in this role requires strong understanding of mechanical systems, piping layout, and installation within tight, production-driven environments.Key ResponsibilitiesPipe Installation & Mechanical AssemblyInstall pre-fabricated pipe spools as a Mechanical Installer across chilled water and mechanical piping systemsHang pipe using supports, brackets, and mounting systems within modular structuresAlign and bolt flanges to ensure proper fit-up and system integrityInstall valves, pumps, fittings, and associated mechanical componentsEnsure all piping installations meet drawing specifications and system requirementsSystem Integration & Equipment ConnectionConnect piping systems to pumps, heat exchangers, and cooling equipmentSupport system integration within modular builds, ensuring alignment with mechanical and electrical componentsVerify proper installation of piping systems for functionality and accessibilityAssist with system testing and commissioning activities as requiredDrawing Interpretation & LayoutRead and interpret isometric drawings (ISO drawings), P&IDs, and mechanical layoutsCalculate offsets, angles, and takeoffs to ensure accurate installationFollow Bill of Materials (BOM) to ensure correct component usage and system configurationIdentify and resolve fit-up issues during installationQuality, Safety & ExecutionEnsure installations meet quality standards and ISO9001 requirementsMaintain proper alignment, torque, and connection integrity across all piping systemsFollow OSHA safety standards and internal safety protocolsSupport First Pass Yield (FPY) by minimizing rework and installation errorsLean Manufacturing & Continuous ImprovementSupport Lean Manufacturing, 5S, and Continuous Improvement initiatives within the production environmentIdentify installation inefficiencies and support improvements in flow, cycle time, and takt timeParticipate in Root Cause Analysis using 5 Whys and Fishbone methodologies for installation issuesCross-Functional CoordinationPartner with Engineering to resolve layout, fitment, and integration challengesCollaborate with Production and Supply Chain to ensure material availability and installation readinessWork with Quality teams to address defects and improve installation processesRequired Qualifications2–5 years of experience as a Pipefitter, Mechanical Installer, or Industrial Pipe InstallerExperience installing piping systems in industrial, modular, or mechanical environmentsStrong ability to read isometric drawings, P&IDs, and mechanical layoutsExperience with pipe installation, flange alignment, and mechanical system assemblyFamiliarity with chilled water systems, cooling systems, or mechanical pipingAbility to calculate offsets, angles, and perform basic layout workPreferred QualificationsExperience in modular construction, skid-based manufacturing, or system integration environmentsBackground in industrial HVAC, chilled water systems, or process pipingExperience installing pumps, valves, and mechanical equipmentExposure to Lean Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement, or structured problem solvingOSHA 10/30 or similar safety certificationsMonday - Thursday 5 am - 3:30 pm
