Boilermaker 3

About the Role

Boilermakers construct iron and steel structures according to project specifications. They are responsible for building Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) units and other miscellaneous structures for new construction projects. Key duties include reading blueprints and specifications to determine material quantities, identifying necessary tools, and assessing safety risks. Boilermakers fabricate, cut, bend, and weld steel components, then hoist and rig them into position using cranes or bull rigs. They verify alignment of structural members with plumb bobs, lasers, and levels, and secure columns, beams, and girders with bolts or rivets following detailed instructions. • Read and interpret blueprints, IFC drawings, and specifications to define work scope and material needs. • Identify required tools and safety hazards, implementing precautions before commencing tasks. • Fabricate, cut, bend, and weld steel components according to drawings and supervisor directions. • Hoist and rig steel members using cranes, bull rigs, and approved rigging techniques. • Align and secure columns, beams, and girders with bolts, ensuring proper vertical and horizontal positioning using plumb bobs, lasers, and levels. • Perform bolting, riveting, and torque/tension verification following standard procedures. • Lead erection and fabrication crews, assigning tasks and overseeing safe execution. • Select appropriate slings, chokers, and knots for rigging operations. • Utilize specialty tools such as torque wrenches, skid‑more devices, magnetic drills, and Hogan drills. • Apply basic welding methods (MIG, stick, gas) and maintain welding equipment. • Conduct calculations for footage, torque values, and material layout. • Inspect and maintain equipment like JLG man baskets and cranes.
