Structural Steel Ironworker

Ironworker - Build What Lasts

Set steel, hang decking, and erect the structural frame for hospitals, schools, distribution centers, and commercial buildings across the Sioux Falls region. Day work, home every night, strong crew, and a real path from ironworker to lead to foreman for those who want to grow. Most of our foremen came up from the ranks.

What You Will Do

• Set steel and precast with the crew: columns, beams, joists, bridging, stairs, and metal decking.

• Connect, bolt, and weld structural members into place.

• Rig loads, signal the crane operator, and direct material flow on the deck.

• Read plans, specifications, and shop drawings to lay out work accurately.

• Unload and stack steel; place building materials to support the day's scope.

• Take ownership of safety on every task. Speak up early. Look out for the crew.

• Train newer ironworkers as you advance.
