The broad purpose of a Metal Fabricator is to carry out metal fabrication work using things such as rolled steel joists, columns, channels, steel plate and metal sheet. Work includes:

  • Manufacturing bridges
  • Oil rigs and ships
  • Petro-chemical installations
  • Cranes and platforms
  • Aircraft, automotive and machinery parts

The size and weight of the fabrications can range from components that can easily be picked up by hand, to large structures that require several cranes to manipulate.

In their daily work, an employee in this occupation interacts with many occupations involved in manufacturing, production, maintenance and repair.
