Job Description

Job Title: Fire Sprinkler Fitter  

Location: Huntingdon, PA  

Schedule: Monday-Friday  

Where You'll Fit:  
DC Goodman is seeking a mid-level Fire Sprinkler Fitter to install, modify, and maintain fire sprinkler systems on commercial and industrial job sites. This role suits someone with 2–5 years of hands-on experience who can work with moderate supervision, read complex system layouts, and reliably execute installations to code on large-scale projects such as warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, and commercial buildings. 

What You'll Build:

• Install, assemble, and fit pipe, fittings, valves, and sprinkler heads for large-scale wet, dry, pre-action, and deluge systems per approved drawings and specifications 

• Cut, thread, groove, and join pipe (including larger-diameter industrial pipe) using standard fitting methods 

• Read and interpret blueprints, shop drawings, and hydraulic calculations for commercial/industrial systems under guidance from a foreman or lead fitter 

• Install and support overhead piping in high-bay warehouse and industrial environments, often working from lifts or at significant heights 

• Perform system pressure testing, flushing, and assist with fire marshal/AHJ inspections 

• Identify and troubleshoot installation issues on complex systems, escalating design-level problems to the foreman 

• Coordinate with other trades (electrical, HVAC, structural) common on commercial/industrial sites 

• Maintain a safe, organized job site and follow all OSHA and NFPA safety standards 

• Assist in training or mentoring entry-level apprentices as needed 

• Accurately track materials, time, and job progress across multi-phase projects 

Qualifications:  

• 2–5 years of experience in commercial/industrial fire sprinkler installation 

• Working knowledge of NFPA 13 (commercial/industrial systems); familiarity with pre-action and deluge systems a plus 

• Ability to read blueprints and hydraulic calculations for larger, more complex systems 

• Proficient with hand and power tools, pipe threading/grooving machines used in industrial pipefitting 

• Comfortable working from scissor lifts, boom lifts, and scaffolding 

• OSHA 10 certification required; OSHA 30 preferred 

• NICET Level I or II preferred, or actively working toward certification 

• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation 

• Ability to lift 50+ lbs and work at heights, in confined spaces, and in industrial/warehouse environments 

What Sets This Role Apart from Entry-Level:  

• Works with less direct supervision on standard commercial/industrial installs 

• Can independently complete sections of large-scale system installs without step-by-step guidance 

• Expected to catch basic errors before they become inspection failures 

• May take a lead role on smaller commercial jobs or discrete phases of larger industrial projects
