FINAL LNG Ironworker
www.careersinoilandgas.com
Ironworker #StructuralSteelErector #Fitter #Rigger #SteelFabricator #SteelWorker #TowerHand There are two types of Ironworkers – those who live on the edge working at the highest points of structural ironwork, and those who reinforce the structural integrity at the very foundation of a building or plant. Both are involved in almost every part of construction in the oil and gas industry. You could be working on projects ranging from LNG export facilities to natural gas processing plants to offshore rigs.
As a Generalist Ironworker, you need muscles, guts, brains and a thick skin. You often work in high places, balancing on huge steel beams while you bolt them together. You may work in a fabricating shop where you’ll be bending, cutting or welding raw steel to bring blueprints to life. If working on a construction site, you direct crane operators to hoist steel structures so you can fasten them together. Ever wonder how multi-story concrete buildings, bridges or stadiums stay up? That’s the job of a Reinforcing Ironworker. You cut, bend, lay out, install and weld rebar and wire fabric to increase the tension and reinforce structures. Both roles play a part in repairing and maintaining oil and gas facilities.

What would I do? As a generalist Ironworker, your day is filled with hoisting, fastening, cutting, bending, welding and erecting components for giant storage tanks, towers and other oil and gas structures. You assemble columns, beams and girders before they are riveted, bolted or welded permanently into place. If reinforcing is your game, your day involves unloading fabricated reinforcing materials and getting them ready to be hoisted to where they are needed. Sometimes, you pre-assemble reinforcing material by laying the material out and connecting sub-assemblies on the ground prior to final placement. You’re not always in action. You also take the time to examine structures and equipment such as safety ropes, harnesses and tools for any defects or non-compliance with specifications. People on the crew will also be looking up to you as you provide direction. You work with supervisors, engineers and other trades when troubleshooting issues that arise with structures and materials. Other duties required in this role include: ``
Examining structures and equipment for defects and deterioration
``
Reading specifications and blueprints to determine the locations, quantities and sizes of materials required for the job

What competencies do I need? Physically, you bring muscle, agility, balance and good eyesight. Mentally, your sense of judgment is ironclad as you encounter numerous scenarios with potential safety implications. You can think through everything, from day-to-day project planning to inspections to problem solving. Numeracy is key as you measure dimensions and angles of various components, calculate distances and estimate quantities of supplies required for projects.
