Ironworker Apprenticeship Opportunities (Contact training center to apply)

Ironworkers are often called the cowboys of the sky. They’re the men and women you see fearlessly walking the iron steelwork of a building, high in the air, building North America’s infrastructure.


Ironworkers are expert welders and builders. Even though the primary metal involved in their work is steel, workers often are known as ironworkers or erectors. Most Ironworkers work in one of three main jobs. 


Structural Ironworkers erect the skeleton of a structure, working with massive steel beams and columns. 


Reinforcing ironworkers place and stress steel bars and cables in concrete structures, allowing concrete to span greater distances between support columns. 


Ornamental Ironworkers erect iron structures like railings, gates, stairways, and entrance ways. If a structure has a frame made of steel columns, beams, or girders, you can bet that an ironworker helped erect it.
