From the Ironworkers Local #5 website:

The Ironworker trade has been on of the most revered and exciting trades for over a century. Ironworkers are recognized as highly skilled, highly trained and safety conscious tradesmen.

Ironworkers fabricate and construct the structural steel framework of single and multi-story building, stadiums, arenas, hospitals, towers and bridges. Ironworkers place reinforcing bars (rebar), as well as installing post-tensioning systems. They also specialize in finishing building by assembling curtain wall and window wall systems, stairs and handrails, metal doors, sheeting and elevator fronts.

At Ironworkers Local 5, we offer a multi-year Apprenticeship Program in our brand new, state of the art training facility.
