Structural metal and platework fabricators, also known as fitter-assemblers, build metal structures (beams, posts, stairs, ramps, etc.) and architectural components (balconies, handrails, etc.). They measure, trace, weld, cut and pierce steel sheets, plates and structurals, and perform finishing on parts. A job as a metal and platework fabricator requires excellent manual dexterity. This is an ever-changing occupation in the industrial sector suited to meticulous, precise and responsible people.
