Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Skilled worker who processes metal sheets for boilers and pressure vessels, performs welding, assembly, installation, and testing.
Description
Boiler Assembly Workers handle metal sheet processing, parts assembly, welding, installation, and pressure testing for boilers and pressure vessels at factories and plant construction sites. First, based on drawings, they cut, drill holes in, and bend sheet materials, and join parts using acetylene welding or arc welding. After assembly, they inspect for leaks or deformations and perform polishing and finishing as necessary. For large equipment, they also handle crane lifting and piping connections while complying with safety standards and laws.
Future Outlook
While steady job demand is expected due to renewal and maintenance needs for power plants and plants, a decline in skilled workers is a medium- to long-term concern due to advances in mechanization and automation and challenges in technology succession.
