Backed by Re:Build Manufacturing’s technology‑forward platform and strong operations, your craft helps restore and grow American manufacturing.

Your mission

From first cut to final inspection, you own the quality of every joint:

• Select and use the right tool for each cut—hand tools, pipe cutters, cutting torches, or a pipe cutting machine
• Assemble tubes, fittings, and non‑metallic attachments to print
• Execute joints via threading, soldering, brazing, or cemented connections
• Inspect piping and machinery to identify malfunctions before they become downtime
• Operate material handling equipment to lift and position pipe, supports, and heavy machinery safely
• Partner with engineers, designers, programmers, planners, PMs, and customers to align on scope and quality
• Live our safety culture—adhere to NFPA 70E; join toolbox talks and safety audits; stop and correct hazards
• Lead by example: mentor junior teammates and uphold high craftsmanship standards
• Pitch in on related duties to keep projects moving

• Comfortable working in hot, cold, and all‑weather conditions
