Ironworker Apprenticeship Opportunities (Apply in-person year around at the training center)
What is an Ironworker? An Ironworker is a tradesman who is an important part of the building and construction industry, responsible to perform many duties related to the construction industry. The various duties of the Ironworker are: Reinforcing Ironworkers (Rodmen) place steel and post tensioning cables in concrete, as well as setting precast concrete into position. Structural Ironworkers erect steel members, which form framework of steel buildings. Ironworkers also install stairways, catwalks, handrails, floor plate, and grating. Ironworkers erect Pre Engineered Metal Buildings; install metal siding and roof decking. Ornamental Ironworkers install window sash, metal curtain wall systems, ornamental and decorative structural steel members, doors and windows. Ironworkers also install fence, guard rail and bumper posts. Machinery movers and riggers are Ironworkers that install heavy machinery and equipment. Many times the fabrication and re-fabrication of steel is an important part of the job. The importance of being a certified welder, burner and layout person cannot be overstated. The ability to read blueprints and operate the transit is also important to Ironworkers. Ironwork is an extremely hard and physically demanding trade. Because of the dangers of Ironwork, it is important to be a team player that works well with fellow workers to be sure the job is completed safely, on time and under budget.
It is important to mention that an ironworker must be willing to work in high places, have a good sense of balance, and be alert to potential danger to themselves and others. However, the apprenticeship program includes safety training with OSHA Authorized Construction Trainers so that the danger is minimized.
If you think you exhibit the correct aptitude and attitude to begin a career in the construction trades, apply for the Iron Workers Local 55 apprenticeship program.
