Summary
Specialized profession that assembles steel frames forming the skeleton of buildings and joins/fixes them using arc welding, semi-automatic welding, etc. Collaborates with high-altitude work and crane operations to construct structures safely and accurately.
Description
Steel frame assembly welders assemble steel frames used in architectural and civil engineering structures such as buildings, bridges, and plants on-site, joining them using welding methods and bolt fastening. They read blueprints, collaborate with crane operators for high-altitude work, and thoroughly manage quality and safety. The work requires techniques such as arc welding, semi-automatic welding, and gas welding, and dimensional management to prevent assembly errors is also important.
Future Outlook
Stable job openings exist due to demand for large buildings and infrastructure development. While labor shortages continue, the introduction of automation and robot welding technology is advancing, requiring higher skills and safety management capabilities.
