What is an Ironworker?
 Ironworkers are the men and women you see erecting the structural steel framework of pre-engineered metal buildings,
single or multi story buildings, stadiums, arenas, hospitals, towers and bridges. Ironworkers place and tie rebar
(reinforcing steel bars) and install post tensioning systems, both of which give strength to the concrete used in footings,
slabs, buildings and bridges. Ironworkers load, unload, move and set machinery and equipment, operate power hoists, forklifts
and aerial lifts. They unload, place and fasten metal decking. The Ironworkers also finish buildings by erecting curtain wall
and window wall systems, pre-cast concrete & stone, metal stairs & handrails, doors, sheeting and elevator fronts.
Ironworkers perform all types of industrial maintenance as well. These hardworking people put sweat, pride, skill and
craftsmanship into their work everyday.
