What are high steel workers called?

Even though the primary metal involved here is steel, workers dealing with this material are mostly known as ironworkers. However, they are often otherwise referred to as steel contractors or steel home builders. Contact us via email or call us, and we will be more than happy to refer you to a qualified structural steel worker.

What is the difference between an iron worker and a steel worker?

The two jobs are two similar forms of metal-working. Both iron and steel workers’ job includes unloading materials, lifting girders with cranes, erecting steel frames, connecting columns and beams, assembling the derricks that move materials and equipment around the construction site, and making sure all those materials are correctly positioned.

Both careers require:

• On-the-job training or apprenticeship to install steel beams and columns to form buildings and other structures;
• Physical strength to tighten the bolts and guide heavy beams into place;
• Physical endurance to spend many hours each day carrying out physically demanding tasks, such as moving rebar;
• Good hand-eye coordination to tie rebar together precisely and quickly;
• And, last but not least, both structural ironworkers and steel workers must be unafraid of great heights. For example, on skyscraper construction sites, ironworkers workers must walk on narrow beams over 50-60 stories high while connecting girders.

Do ironworkers weld?

Ironworkers’ job consists in performing tasks like cutting steel with torches and welding steel for houses. In other words, steel erectors, which is another way to call ironworkers, do everything related to the assembly of steel buildings.

What does an ironworker do?

Custom ironworker fabricates and/or lays the structural steel framework of pre-engineered residential metal buildings, commercial buildings, bridges, stadiums, etc.

Sometimes people confuse ironworkers with steel fabricators. However, these two terms do not have the same meaning: steel fabricators manufacture structural steel products in facilities usually situated away from construction sites.
