Core Skills & Abilities

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

  • Read specifications or blueprints to determine the locations, quantities, or sizes of materials required.

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

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

  • Place blocks under reinforcing bars used to reinforce floors.

  • Dismantle structures or equipment.

  • Fasten structural steel members to hoist cables, using chains, cables, or rope.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • Insert sealing strips, wiring, insulating material, ladders, flanges, gauges, or valves, depending on types of structures being assembled.

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

  • Assemble hoisting equipment or rigging, such as cables, pulleys, or hooks, to move heavy equipment or materials.

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