Flat steel shapers
Sheet metal workers are tradespeople who fabricate, install, and maintain products made from thin metal sheets—ductwork for heating and cooling systems, roofing, siding, gutters, and industrial equipment.
The work involves cutting, bending, and joining metal using specialized tools and techniques.
Most sheet metal workers learn through apprenticeships combining classroom instruction with on-the-job training.
