Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing job involving cutting, welding, assembling, and finishing metal gratings (grate covers).
Description
Grating manufacturing workers use plasma cutters or gas cutters to cut metal materials such as iron or stainless steel to size, and assemble them into a lattice shape using arc welding or CO2 welding. After assembly, they perform dimensional inspections, grinding, painting, and rust prevention treatments to finish the product ready for shipment. Factory safety and hygiene management, as well as quality control, are important tasks, requiring the ability to read drawings and precise dimensional management.
Future Outlook
With the aging of infrastructure, the demand for replacement of drainage ditch and sidewalk gratings remains stable. While automation and robot welding are advancing, skilled workers who can ensure welding quality will continue to be needed.
