Hiring for UA Local 542 contractors

Fire Sprinkler Fitters · Pittsburgh, PA

We recruit for signatory mechanical contractors — the salaried and union-covered leaders who run the work: project managers, superintendents, general foremen, service managers, estimators and VDC detailers.

Roles we fill

  • Project Manager
  • Superintendent
  • General Foreman
  • Service Manager
  • Estimator
  • Detailer / VDC

What we don't do

We place direct hires on your payroll. We don't dispatch crews or replace the hall's referral process — journeyman and apprentice manpower still goes through UA Local 542.

Gulfstream Strategic Placements is an independent recruiting firm and does not speak for any union. Your company name stays confidential in every posting.
