Employment Outlook

Opportunities are available in petrochemical manufacturing, contracting, and numerous other industries. Demand for pipefitters will probably increase over the next several years with large construction and expansion projects being announced by the petrochemical industry in our area. Since pipefitters are needed for many diferent industries, pipefitters also have the ability to transfer to other industries when they are in high demand or leave declining industries. Jobs are not threatened by automation in comparison to others, as pipefitting will always require skilled workers to operate machines and ensure that products are safe.
