According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for pipe fitters is expected to grow by 26% by 2020. The growing demand is fueled by upgrades in technology and industry regulations. What does this mean for your workforce needs?

As the construction industry continues to rebound and the regulations surrounding water and gas systems become more strict, the demand for trained and experienced pipe fitters has grown significantly. With many pipe fitters working on pipes that carry hazardous materials such as chemicals, acids, and gases; hiring properly trained staff is imperative. Hiring pipe fitters that are well versed in a wide range of materials such as lead, steel, copper, plastic, and aluminum as well as those who have worked in both low and high pressure piping systems can help you grow a diverse workforce that is prepared for a wide range of projects and circumstances, saving you costly downtime and unnecessary overtime due to inexperience. Struggling to find that well rounded talent?
