Job Description

Module Piping Superintendent – LNG, Offshore & Industrial Modules | Tarpon Specialty Services | Ingleside, TX

Lead piping execution on large-scale modular projects at our Texas Gulf Coast fabrication yard. If you can run crews, hit schedules, and ship complete modules — we want to talk.

Tarpon Specialty Services is hiring a Module Piping Superintendent to drive piping execution across large-scale modular fabrication projects supporting LNG, offshore, and industrial clients. This is a high-accountability, high-output role responsible for leading General Foremen, Foremen, and a craft workforce of 50 to 200+ personnel across simultaneous active modules.

You will own the full piping scope — from work pack planning and fit-up through hydrotesting and system turnover — and be directly responsible for getting modules out the door safely, on schedule, and complete. This is not a desk role. You will be on the floor, running production, and holding your crews to a high standard every day. Job location is Ingleside, TX near Corpus Christi.

Planning & Field Execution

• Plan and sequence work from isometrics, work packs, and module priorities

• Execute and enforce a sound field break strategy — maximize shop completion, minimize field welds

• Deep knowledge of welding processes and QA/QC requirements in industrial piping

• Solid understanding of industrial piping systems — materials, specs, testing, and turnover

• Experience in LNG, offshore, or modular construction environments preferred

What Sets You Apart

• You solve problems fast in the field without waiting for direction

• You understand that shipping constraints drive everything and plan accordingly
