Steel Worker Duties and Responsibilities
Daily job duties for steel workers change depending on the building project and the size of the construction crew. However, these main tasks are associated with the job in most environments:
Construct Steel Frames Steel workers construct steel frames and structural supports for buildings, bridges, and other construction projects.
Cut Steel Steel workers cut and weld steel pieces.
Reinforce Concrete Steel workers cut and position steel bars to reinforce concrete.
Make Repairs Steel workers make repairs to existing steel frames and infrastructure elements.
Operate Cranes Steel workers operate cranes to move steel pieces into specific locations on the building site. This includes attaching cables to steel so it can be hoisted.
Verify Alignments Steel workers verify the alignment of steel building elements to ensure they’re straight and sound.
Drill Holes Steel workers prepare pieces of steel to be connected together by drilling bolt holes.
Transport Steel Steel workers unload and stack steel for use on jobsites.
Read Blueprints Steel workers read and interpret blueprints and building plans to map out where steel pieces should go.
Maintain Safety Steel workers follow safety protocols at all times and wear proper protective equipment.
Steel Worker Skills and Qualifications
Steel workers need a high degree of mechanical competency to construct and erect steel building elements. When searching for steel workers, employers look for candidates who have the following skills:
- Mechanical ability – steel workers work with their hands to fabricate and place steel structural components, which requires strong mechanical abilities
- Communication skills – steel workers use verbal communication skills to interact with other construction crew members. They use reading skills to interpret blueprints
- Attention to detail – steel workers work with extremely heavy pieces of steel to create structures, a task that requires exceptional attention to detail because every movement must be precise to be safe
- Analytical thinking – steel workers read blueprints to determine how to construct steel frameworks and structural elements, which requires excellent analytical skills
- Physical fitness – steel workers stand, squat, crouch, and lift heavy objects to perform their regular job duties, tasks that require physical stamina
Steel Worker Education and Training
Many employers hire steel workers on an entry-level basis, requiring no formal education beyond a high school diploma or GED. Steel workers must undergo an apprenticeship program, but many employers provide this training on the job. Apprentice steel workers who are still in training work closely with a senior steel worker to learn how to perform all the functions of the job. The length of this training program varies and may last for months.
Steel Worker Salary and Outlook
According to PayScale, steel workers earn $20.57 in median hourly pay. Information provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), however, shows that earn $24.67 in median hourly pay, or $51,320 annually. Employment in this field is expected to rise 13 percent through 2026. This job growth is faster than the national average. Iron workers install structural iron and steel for buildings, roads, bridges, and other structures, performing many of the same tasks as steel workers. Employers typically offer full insurance benefits to steel workers that include medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance coverage. Steel workers also receive yearly paid vacation and sick leave from employers. Some companies also provide holiday and profit-sharing bonuses in addition to base pay.
