Core Skills & Abilities

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

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

  • Cut, bend, or weld steel pieces, using metal shears, torches, or welding equipment.

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

  • 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.

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

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