Task E-15 Installs primary and secondary structural members
Task Descriptor
Ironworkers (generalist) install primary and secondary structural members made from structural steel, precast concrete or timber. They attach, level, plumb, and align these members. They also erect falsework or other temporary structures to aid in the erection when necessary. They are responsible for finalization and completion of a secure installation which may include installation of all fasteners or welding of structural components.
