Steamfitter Jobs in East Alton, IL

A Steamfitter, also known as a Pipefitter, plays a crucial role in the construction industry by installing and repairing both high-pressure and low-pressure pipe systems used for manufacturing, heating, and cooling. Their duties include reading and interpreting blueprints, ensuring that piping systems are perfectly aligned and meet all safety standards, and maintaining and repairing systems as needed. They handle pipes that contain chemicals, steam, water, or gas. They also work on projects that involve HVAC systems, steam boilers, and power plant applications. Steamfitters are highly skilled in cutting, fitting, and welding pipes, often working in challenging conditions such as heights or confined spaces.

To become a proficient Steamfitter, one should have strong mechanical aptitude, good problem-solving skills, physical strength and stamina, and excellent attention to detail. They should also possess excellent communication skills as they often need to work as part of a team. Furthermore, certification in areas such as welding or steam fitting from a vocational school or apprenticeship program is often required. Prior job roles that can lead to a career as a steamfitter include being a Plumber's Helper, an HVAC Technician, or a Welder. These roles can help build foundational skills in understanding pipe systems, blueprint reading, and safe work practices.
