Summary
A job at boiler manufacturing sites that involves processing steel plates, welding, polishing, and assembling to finish them as completed products.
Description
Boiler finishers are responsible for finishing work such as cutting and bending steel plates, drilling holes, welding, and polishing in the manufacture of boiler parts used in power plants and factories. They correct distortions after welding, assemble and adjust while confirming specified dimensions and finish surfaces, and conduct quality checks such as leak tests. They read drawings and use measuring instruments like calipers and micrometers to ensure accuracy. The work mainly involves standing and handling heavy components, requiring physical strength. Safety management and maintenance of the work environment are also important roles.
Future Outlook
Due to focus on improving energy efficiency and energy saving, demand for manufacturing and retrofitting new types of boilers remains steady. On the other hand, there is a serious shortage of workers, and securing and training skilled workers is a challenge.
