Project Manager

About us

Industrial Pipe and Valve is a pipe, valve and fittings (PVF) distributor headquartered in Vancouver, Washington, with branches in Longview, WA, Nampa, ID, Phoenix, AZ and Mesa, AZ. We supply valves, valve automation, instrumentation, pipe, fittings and flanges, strut, hangers, and bolts and bolt kits, gaskets to mechanical contractors and industrial customers, including Intel-grade bolt kits for semiconductor work. In-house we cut pipe, strut and all-thread to length, thread and roll-groove pipe, and powder-coat strut and fittings, with same-day or next-day delivery on stock items. Our motto is simple: customer satisfaction matters, because it's all about the service.

We're growing our Projects team to support larger jobs from bid to closeout.
