Sheet Metal Jobs

A Sheet Metal Worker in the construction industry is responsible for fabricating, installing, and maintaining various metal structures, fittings, and duct works needed in buildings. They use tools and equipment to cut, bend, and shape sheets of metal into the required forms, and then join the parts together by welding, bolting, or riveting. They play a crucial role in various stages of construction, including the installation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and the creation of signs, siding, and roofs. Sheet metal workers also have the ability to work with materials such as fiberglass and plastic.

Before becoming a Sheet Metal Worker, a person may have roles such as a Construction Laborer, Welder, or HVAC Technician. These roles provide valuable hands-on experience and foundational knowledge of the industry. It's important for a sheet metal worker to have strong mathematical skills, mechanical aptitude, spatial-relation skills, and physical stamina. They must also be familiar with safety protocols as the job often involves working at heights and handling sharp or heavy objects. Furthermore, they should have trade certifications from recognized institutions and apprenticeships, which usually last from 4 to 5 years, are common pathways to becoming a professional sheet metal worker. These apprenticeships combine on-the-job training with classroom instruction, covering topics like blueprint reading, math, and safety.
