Job Description
This role supports the buildout of high-performance data centers by fitting and welding large industrial piping and structural steel to ASME Section IX standards. You will work hands-on throughout construction, collaborating with mechanical, structural, electrical, and operations teams to weld pipe, supports, and structural assemblies from initial installation through final turnover on next-generation AI supercomputing infrastructure.
Responsibilities

• Fit, tack, and weld large-bore industrial piping and structural steel, including pipe racks, platforms, supports, skids, and related assemblies, in accordance with drawings and ASME Section IX welding procedure specifications (WPS).
• Lay out, cut, bevel, grind, and align joints, ensuring proper fit-up, root opening, and reinforcement before and after welding.
• Read and interpret isometric, spool, and structural drawings, and work accurately to weld maps, heat numbers, and rod-control or continuity requirements where applicable.
• Support the installation and hanging of strut, supports, hangers, and structural members, and assist with equipment setting and bolt-up activities required to complete the weld package.
• Stage, move, and inventory pipe, fittings, structural members, filler metal, and tools, maintaining organized laydown yards and orderly work areas.
• Open and close work areas each shift, including installing protection, performing fire watch, managing hot-work permits, removing debris, segregating scrap, and resetting the area so the next crew can start work immediately.
• Follow lockout/tagout (LOTO), personal protective equipment (PPE), hot-work, and site safety rules, and refrain from welding on live or unpurged systems without proper authorization.
• Report damaged materials, rejected welds, unsafe conditions, and drawing conflicts promptly so issues can be resolved quickly.
• Support punch-list completion, weld repairs, and NDE hold-point activities through system turnover.

Essential Skills

• Journey-level industrial construction welding experience, typically 3+ years welding large industrial piping and/or structural steel, completion of a recognized welding apprenticeship, or equivalent military experience.
• Hands-on experience with GTAW (TIG) on stainless steel and/or SMAW (stick) on carbon steel.
• Current ASME Section IX qualification (for example, 6G) in GTAW on stainless steel and/or SMAW on carbon steel, or the ability to pass a pre-employment weld test to ASME Section IX in the processes and positions used on site.
• AWS D1.1 structural welding qualification or equivalent.
• Ability to read and interpret isometric, spool, and structural drawings, and follow welding procedure specifications (WPS).
• Ability to safely operate welding machines, torches, grinders, and related hand and power tools.
• Strong safety mindset and consistent adherence to site procedures, including hot-work permits and lockout/tagout (LOTO) requirements.
• Willingness and physical ability to work at heights, outdoors, and on an active, evolving data center construction site.
• Experience welding large-bore process, mechanical, or utility piping and heavy structural members.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Prior experience working on data center, industrial, or heavy-civil construction sites.
• Experience supporting equipment setting, bolt-up, and structural installation as part of a weld package.
• Demonstrated ability to maintain organized laydown yards and work areas in a fast-paced construction environment.
