Job Description

We're hiring Plastic Piping System Fabricators for our indoor pipe-fabrication shop.

You'll build prefabricated plastic piping systems like fire suppression, sprinkler, irrigation, and industrial process lines, that ship out and install elsewhere. Working from blueprints and 3D layouts, you'll measure and cut HDPE, PVC, and other thermoplastic pipe, face and align the ends, then run butt, socket, and sidewall fusion equipment — watching temperature, pressure, and cycle time to make each joint leak-free. You'll take precise readings along the way to confirm every assembly is built to spec.

This is a growing line of business, fused plastic systems that can replace metal piping in commercial buildings. Everything is built in a clean, climate-controlled facility, then shipped to the job site.

Why Join Us

  • Indoor, climate-controlled work: Build in a clean shop, not on job sites.
  • Learn a rare skill: Train on fusion processes used across the piping industry.
  • Great culture: Work at an award-winning company with a team that invests in your growth.

Compensation

  • Pay: $22–30/hour, depending on experience.

Shifts

  • 1st shift: Monday–Thursday, 6:00 AM – 4:30 PM (four 10-hour days).

Responsibilities

  • Cut & prep: Measure, cut, clean, and prep pipe and fittings.
  • Face & align: Face and align pipe ends to fusion standards.
  • Verify specs: Confirm material type and dimensions before every assembly.
  • Run fusion equipment: Set up and operate machines for each joint.
  • Control the cycle: Monitor temperature, pressure, and cycle time per joint.
  • Make the joint: Fuse pipe into strong, leak-free connections.
  • Build to print: Assemble systems to match blueprints and 3D layouts.
  • Check quality: Take precise readings and flag joints that fail spe

Requirements

Qualifications

Required

  • Strong mechanical aptitude and hand skills.
  • Able to read blueprints and 3D layouts.
  • Accurate measuring, cutting, and layout work.
  • Commitment to precise, reliable work.
  • Willingness to learn fusion processes.
  • Attention to detail on every joint.

Preferred

  • Experience building prefabricated piping systems.
  • Background as a pipefitter or fitter.
  • Fire suppression or sprinkler system experience.
  • Experience with fusible plastic pipe.
  • Prior experience running fusion equipment.
  • Familiarity with HDPE or thermoplastic pipe.

About Laborup

Laborup is the #1 AI powered talent platform for America’s industrial workforce. We use AI to create jobs, not take them away. We help HR and plant leaders hire and keep the skilled workers who keep plants running: machinists, welders, maintenance techs, operators, industrial electricians, and engineers. USA Today called us the “LinkedIn for blue collar workers,” and Forbes profiled our work in “How AI Is Solving America’s 1 Trillion Dollar Manufacturing Labor Crisis.”

Today we work with manufacturers from 50 person shops to large public companies with tens of thousands of employees, and the story is the same everywhere. It is hard to find talent, hard to keep good people, and staffing costs keep rising. In a market where filling critical industrial roles can take months and turnover is constant, Laborup helps teams move qualified workers from first contact to on site interview in days instead of weeks and keep them on the floor longer.

Most of the workers our customers need are not on LinkedIn or the usual job boards. Laborup uses AI to find this hidden workforce, call and text them, screen and qualify them, build real profiles, and match them directly to the plants and roles where they can succeed. For workers, that means real, permanent roles at serious manufacturers, not one off gigs. For companies, it is durable infrastructure for hiring and retention at scale in a labor market that will stay tight for years.

We work across nuclear, defense, and advanced manufacturing, as well as sectors like aerospace, automotive, and food production. Teams that use Laborup hire 5 to 10 times faster, see around 3 times better retention, and cut cost per hire by up to 50 to 70 percent. That turns into fewer empty shifts, fewer missed orders, more stable teams, and more capacity without more headache.

We are building the modern talent system for America’s industrial base with a simple long term goal: put a billion industrial workers to work in good jobs that matter.
