  • Dismantle structures or equipment.

  • Force structural steel members into final positions, using turnbuckles, crowbars, jacks, or hand tools.

  • Hold rivets while riveters use air hammers to form heads on rivets.

  • Hoist steel beams, girders, or columns into place, using cranes or signaling hoisting equipment operators to lift and position structural steel members.

  • Drive drift pins through rivet holes to align rivet holes in structural steel members with corresponding holes in previously placed members.

  • Fabricate metal parts, such as steel frames, columns, beams, or girders, according to blueprints or instructions from supervisors.

  • Verify vertical and horizontal alignment of structural steel members, using plumb bobs, laser equipment, transits, or levels.

  • Connect columns, beams, and girders with bolts, following blueprints and instructions from supervisors.

  • Erect metal or precast concrete components for structures, such as buildings, bridges, dams, towers, storage tanks, fences, or highway guard rails.

  • Unload and position prefabricated steel units for hoisting, as needed.

  • Ride on girders or other structural steel members to position them, or use rope to guide them into position.

  • Place blocks under reinforcing bars used to reinforce floors.

  • Bolt aligned structural steel members in position for permanent riveting, bolting, or welding into place.

  • Pull, push, or pry structural steel members into approximate positions for bolting into place.
