Core Skills & Abilities

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • 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.
