Plomeros
Aunque el término: "montador de tuberías" es más preciso; pienso que si se trata de un anuncio para contratar a obreros del ramo, especialmente en México, la palabra "plomero" lo dice todo.
Un plomero en México, trabaja con tubos, cañerías, conductos, etc. montando, desmontando, reparando, instalando, etc.
Suerte y saludos de Oso ¶:^)

If this is going to be used to recruit workers, the terminology should communicate what the job involves.

plomeros
Literally this means "plumbers" and there can be a difference between this and "pipefitters"; however Mexicans skilled in such trade would normally describe themselves as "plomeros" unless the job involved some other type of work such as welding heavy pipe sections, etc.

Instaladores de tuberías o instaladores de cañerías
Cualquiera de estas dos opciones describe lo que en inglés pipefitters significa. Sin embargo si tu traducción está dirigida a una empresa mexicana te sugiero utilizar la palabra "PLOMERO". Este es un término típico mexicano.

tuberos
Pipefitters are not plumbers, even in Spanish. See the web page below, where a clear distinction is made between "plomeros" and "tuberos". Pipefitting is not semi-skilled labor; in the U.S., the training period is 5 years, and there is much more to it than merely connecting pipes. It involves the installation and welding of high-pressure refinery piping, steam piping, piping for nuclear plants, and high-purity piping for electronics plants.
I am a pipefitter and a member of the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters.
