Tubing Bender

Responsibilities

• Perform precision bending and shaping of tubing using manual, hydraulic, and mechanical tubing-bending equipment.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, tubing layouts, specifications, and bending schedules to determine required dimensions and angles.
• Measure, mark, cut, and bend tubing to specified dimensions while maintaining required tolerances.
• Carry out tubing installation, routing, alignment, and fitting in accordance with approved drawings and project specifications.
• Inspect tubing and fittings for defects, damage, corrosion, or other conditions that may affect performance.
• Ensure tubing bends are properly formed without kinking, flattening, cracking, or compromising the internal diameter.
• Select appropriate bending tools, dies, mandrels, and equipment based on tubing material, size, thickness, and required bend radius.
• Perform checks and measurements after bending to confirm dimensional accuracy and compliance with specifications.
• Support the installation, removal, repair, and replacement of tubing and associated components where required.
• Ensure tubing connections, fittings, and joints are correctly installed, secured, and leak-free.
• Assist with pressure and leak testing of completed tubing installations as required.
• Identify damaged or defective tubing and report findings to the supervisor or relevant technical personnel.
• Maintain tubing-bending tools and equipment in good working condition and report any faults or calibration requirements.
• Complete job cards, inspection records, measurements, and other relevant documentation accurately.
• Follow all applicable HSE procedures, work permits, safe working practices, and client requirements while carrying out tubing activities.
• Maintain a clean and organized work area and ensure tools and materials are properly stored after use.

General Requirements

• OND, HND, technical qualification, or relevant vocational training in Mechanical Engineering, Fabrication, Pipe Fitting, Instrumentation, or a related field.
• Proven experience as a Tubing Bender, Tube Fitter, Pipe Fitter, or similar technical role, preferably within the oil & gas industry.
• Practical experience working with tubing, fittings, bending machines, and associated tools.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, tubing layouts, and specifications.
• Good understanding of tubing sizes, materials, bend radii, fittings, and installation methods.
• Ability to use measuring tools such as vernier calipers, measuring tapes, protractors, and angle gauges.
• Knowledge of tubing pressure and leak testing procedures is an advantage.
• Good understanding of HSE requirements and safe work practices.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work accurately within specified tolerances.
• Ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team and under minimal supervision.
