Pipe Welder

Overview

Wilsenergy is a custom HVAC fabrication and manufacturing company in Temecula, CA. We build pipe skids, custom air handling units, modified equipment, and modular mechanical systems across our Manufacturing, Custom AHU, and Modifications divisions. Every unit is built to print, so accuracy matters as much as arc quality.

We are looking for a Pipe Welder to weld, fit, and assemble piping for these builds. This is shop work, not field work. You will work from engineered drawings and bills of material in a controlled shop environment, fabricating headers and hydronic piping assemblies that go into equipment shipped to commercial and industrial projects. The role combines welding skill with layout and fit-up ability, since most assemblies have to hold dimensional tolerance to fit inside a larger unit or skid frame.

Duties

• Read and interpret shop drawings, isometrics, and mechanical drawings to guide pipe fabrication and assembly
• Lay out, fit, and weld pipe assemblies, including headers, branch connections, and hydronic piping
• Perform welding operations using FCAW, GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), and SMAW as required by the job
• Measure, mark, cut, and bevel pipe using band saws, grinders, plasma cutting equipment, and pipe prep tools
• Assemble and align grooved, flanged, socket weld, butt weld, and threaded piping connections to specification
• Fit and tack assemblies, verify dimensions against the drawing before final welding, and re-verify after welding
• Inspect welds and fit-ups visually for quality and correct any deficiencies before the assembly moves forward
• Grind, clean, and prep completed assemblies for coating, insulation, or inspection
• Support pressure and leak testing of completed piping assemblies
• Pull material against the bill of material and report shortages, substitutions, or drawing discrepancies rather than working around them
• Record labor and material against work orders in Fulcrum on shop tablets
• Move and position pipe, fittings, and completed assemblies safely using shop material handling equipment
• Keep the work area, tooling, and welding equipment clean and in working order, and report equipment issues
• Coordinate with fabricators, fitters, and shop supervision to keep jobs moving on schedule
• Follow all shop safety practices, including hot work procedures, PPE, and safe handling of tools and materials

Requirements

• Experience welding pipe in a fabrication shop or industrial manufacturing environment
• Proficiency in multiple welding processes on carbon steel pipe, including FCAW, GMAW, GTAW, and SMAW
• Ability to read and work independently from piping drawings, isometrics, and mechanical drawings
• Strong pipe layout and fit-up skills, including takeoffs, cut lengths, and branch and elbow fit-up
• Proficiency with tape measures, squares, levels, calipers, and other measuring instruments
• Working knowledge of pipe fitting and assembly methods, plasma cutting, grinding, and general metal fabrication
• Ability to inspect your own work and hold dimensional tolerance without being checked at every step
• Shop math skills for measurement, layout, and fabrication calculations
• Comfortable with hand tools, power tools, and shop equipment
• Understanding of welding and shop safety practices
• Reliable attendance and the ability to hold a production schedule

If you take pride in clean welds and tight fit-up and want steady shop work on equipment you can point to when it ships, we want to hear from you.
