iron workers

Structural steel installers

Iron workers are tradespeople who fabricate, assemble, and install iron and steel structures.

The work divides into structural iron workers, who erect building frameworks and bridges, and reinforcing iron workers, who place steel bars in concrete.

The trade requires working at dangerous heights and handling heavy materials: The iron workers walked the beams thirty stories up.
