Raise, place, and unite iron or steel girders, columns, and other structural members to form completed structures or structural frameworks. May erect metal storage tanks and assemble prefabricated metal buildings.

Erect metal or precast concrete components for structures, such as buildings, bridges, dams, towers, storage tanks, fences, or highway guard rails.
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.
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.
Fasten structural steel members to hoist cables, using chains, cables, or rope.
Force structural steel members into final positions, using turnbuckles, crowbars, jacks, or hand tools.
Hoist steel beams, girders, or columns into place, using cranes or signaling hoisting equipment operators to lift and position structural steel members.
Pull, push, or pry structural steel members into approximate positions for bolting into place.
Ride on girders or other structural steel members to position them, or use rope to guide them into position.
Unload and position prefabricated steel units for hoisting, as needed.
Verify vertical and horizontal alignment of structural steel members, using plumb bobs, laser equipment, transits, or levels.
