Also called: Medical Gas Certifier, ASSE 6030 Verifier
Tests the oxygen, vacuum and gas pipelines in hospitals to prove the right gas comes out of every wall outlet before patients use them.
Moves through a new hospital wing with gas analyzers, checking that oxygen outlets deliver pure oxygen and not nitrogen, testing pressures and alarms, and hunting for crossed pipes. A mistake here can kill, so you sign off only when everything is perfect.
Estimate; travel is common.
Approximate: anchored on Bureau of Labor Statistics data for a broader job group.
Apprenticeship, about 5.5 years after high school. Usually years as a plumber or pipefitter, then ASSE 6030 verifier training and exam.
Ways in: Apprenticeship, Certification. Training cost: Get paid while you train.
Majors to look at: Plumbing (apprenticeship), Pipefitting (apprenticeship).
Growing about average. Steady with hospital construction and renovation.
Low risk for 10 years. On-site testing and legal sign-off stay human; digital analyzers just speed the work.
Classes: Chemistry, Physics, Construction or plumbing CTE.
