Keeping America’s Lines Flowing, One fitting at a Time

Pipefitting is a rewarding career choice for those who want a strong income and long‑term security in a hands‑on trade. With the right training and work ethic, new pipefitters can quickly move into high‑paying roles, with many earning six‑figure incomes once they’re established on major industrial or construction projects. The labor force is actively seeking the next generation of skilled pipefitters, meaning steady demand and real job security as experienced workers retire and new infrastructure is built. On top of the financial benefits, pipefitting often comes with travel opportunities, allowing you to work across different cities, states, or even countries while building valuable experience and a portable, in‑demand skill set.

State the facts and tell the truth, that is what we do.
So here is the facts and the truth.
Competent pipefitters earn as little as $10,000.00 a month when starting out, and only increases from there. Most individuals join a union, however it takes 5 years before you see a 6 figure earning.
Local colleges follow the same curriculum we teach, at 5x the costs of our course and one year of pipefitting education alone. Most colleges also require prerequisites, which then adds more time, making it longer for the individual to start work.
