The Mid-Level Boilermaker will be responsible for the fabrication and assembly of pressure-containing components such as boilers, pressure vessels, and heat exchangers. This role requires sound knowledge of fabrication drawings, welding requirements, and ASME code compliance, along with hands-on skills in layout, fitting, and basic rigging.
Read and interpret fabrication and assembly drawings, including welding symbols and tolerances.
Carry out layout, cutting, edge preparation, and fit-up of components such as shells, nozzles, flanges, and dished ends.
Assist in pressure part fabrication in accordance with ASME Section VIII, ASME B31.3, or API standards.
Ensure precise alignment and joint configuration for welding in line with WPS/PQR.
Use measuring tools (e.g., calipers, tapes, levels) to verify dimensional accuracy.
Coordinate with welders, fitters, and QA/QC teams during fabrication and inspection stages.
Operate basic fabrication tools and equipment (grinders, flame/plasma cutters, clamps, etc.).
Identify and report any fabrication discrepancies or non-conformities.
Maintain a clean and organized work area and follow workplace safety regulations.
Mentor junior team members or apprentices as required.
Pressure Part Fabrication: Focus on components that must withstand internal pressure such as vessels, boilers, and headers.
Drawing Interpretation: Proficiency in shop drawings, including tolerances and welding details.
Dimensional Accuracy: Critical fit-up and alignment checks to avoid distortion and weld defects.
Material Handling: Familiarity with CS, SS, and alloy materials used in pressure applications.
Code Compliance: Understanding of ASME, API, or client fabrication specifications.
Quality Coordination: Support NDT prep (UT, MPI, DPI) and hydrotest readiness activities.
Safety & Efficiency: Follow safety practices and contribute to productivity goals.
Education:
ITI / Trade Certificate in Boilermaking / Mechanical Fitting / Fabrication (mandatory)
Diploma in Mechanical or Fabrication Engineering (preferred but not mandatory)
Certifications (Preferred):
Awareness of ASME Section VIII, Section IX, or API 650/660 standards
Basic understanding of NDT methods (VT, MPI, DPI)
Experience:
3–7 years of experience in heavy fabrication, preferably involving pressure parts
Experience in EPC or ASME-certified fabrication shops preferred
Skills:
Strong mechanical aptitude and attention to detail
Ability to work with limited supervision
Basic knowledge of rigging, lifting, and shop safety standards
Effective communication and teamwork
