Watson Refrigeration | Raleigh, NC

If you take pride in clean piping, solid installations, and a job done right, let’s talk.

Watson Refrigeration is looking for a Construction / Pipefitter to support commercial and supermarket refrigeration installation projects. This is hands-on work for someone who enjoys building systems, solving problems, and working with a crew to get the job across the finish line.

Weekly out-of-town travel is required for this position. You must be available to travel and stay overnight for assigned projects each week.

What You’ll Do

• Install refrigeration piping, equipment, and related components on new construction and remodel projects.
• Measure, cut, fit, and braze copper piping according to project specifications.
• Read and follow blueprints, piping layouts, and installation drawings.
• Install pipe supports and hangers and properly insulate refrigeration lines.
• Assist with pressure testing, leak checks, evacuation, and system startup.
• Work alongside other technicians, contractors, and project leaders to keep installations moving.
• Maintain a safe, organized jobsite and communicate issues that could affect quality or project timelines.
• Travel out of town weekly, including overnight stays, to support assigned projects.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in refrigeration installation, pipefitting, or related mechanical construction.
• Hands-on experience working with copper piping and brazing.
• Ability to read measurements, follow installation plans, and use jobsite tools safely.
• Attention to detail and pride in the quality of your work.
• Dependability, clear communication, and the ability to work well with a crew.
• Willingness and availability for required weekly out-of-town travel.

Experience That Would Help You Stand Out

• Supermarket refrigeration construction or remodel experience.
• Experience installing piping for parallel rack systems, refrigerated cases, walk-in coolers, and freezers.
• Familiarity with refrigeration pressure testing, evacuation, and startup procedures.
