Pipefitter job description and skills for your resume

A pipefitter is a tradesperson who installs and maintains pipe systems, including gas, water, and steam systems. Pipefitters must be able to read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and sketches to determine the correct type and size of pipes to be used.

Pipefitting is a physically demanding job that requires good agility, stamina, and strength. Pipefitters use hand tools, power tools, and welding equipment, so it’s important that they can work safely and follow instructions carefully to avoid accidents. They also need to be comfortable working in confined spaces and awkward positions.

Most employers require pipefitters to have a certification from a vocational school or other college alternative, such as an apprenticeship. So when you write your pipefitter resume, emphasize your job-specific qualifications and hard and soft skills, such as:

management skills
assembling skills
welding
testing for leaks
making repairs
communication skills
CAD software
teamwork skills
troubleshooting
following safety regulations
quality control
attention to detail
independence
calculating dimensions and tolerances
problem solving skills
pipefitting equipment expertise
identifying potential hazards
responding to emergencies
training apprentices
planning work schedules
