About the Role
The Elite Job is hiring experienced Boilermakers for power generation, petrochemical, and industrial construction projects across the US.

No college degree is required. This career is built through a union apprenticeship and a willingness to work on some of the largest, most technically demanding industrial construction projects in America.

Perform hydrostatic testing, pneumatic testing, and non-destructive examination (NDE) preparation on completed pressure vessels and welds
Erect and align large industrial boiler components including drums, headers, superheater sections, and economizer modules
Operate rigging equipment including cranes, come-alongs, chain falls, and hydraulic jacks to set and align heavy boiler components
Work from scaffolding, aerial work platforms, and elevated structures safely within OSHA confined space and fall protection guidelines
Perform tube expansion, tube rolling, and tube-to-header welding on boiler tube bundles during outages and new construction

Ability to work at significant heights on scaffolding, inside pressure vessel shells, and in confined spaces throughout the shift
Physical stamina to perform heavy lifting, overhead welding, and sustained physical labor across 10 – 12 hour shifts
Willingness to travel for project work — many outage and turnaround jobs require 4 – 12 weeks away from home
High school diploma or GED — no college degree required
Nice to Have
6G pipe welding certification
OSHA 30 industrial construction certification
Rigging and signal person certification
Experience with nuclear power plant boiler work (adds significant premium to pay rate)
What We Offer
Competitive pay of $35 – $52 per hour based on certifications, experience, and project type
Per diem and travel pay on out-of-area projects — often adding $150 – $300 per day above base rate
Substantial overtime on power plant outages and industrial turnarounds — many boilermakers earn $120,000+ in high-work years
Union health and welfare benefits including medical, dental, vision, and pension through Boilermakers Local
Paid vacation and holiday benefits per applicable labor agreement
All weld certifications maintained and renewed at company expense
Boilermaking is one of the most physically demanding, most technically skilled, and best-compensated construction trades in the United States.
