Ironworkers install structural and reinforcing iron and steel to form and support buildings, bridges and roads.
Ironworkers perform physically demanding and dangerous work, often working at great heights. As a result, workers must wear safety harnesses to reduce the risk of falling and other equipment to ensure safety.
Ironworkers learn their trade through a registered apprenticeship program that is usually cost free to the student. A high-school diploma or equivalent is typically required to begin your apprenticeship and career in the trade.
Ironworkers can earn up to
$30.00/Hour
After the apprenticeship and based on certifications, a journeyperson ironworker (a qualified and skilled person in a trade), can earn up to $30.00 an hour.

Employment of ironworkers is projected to grow 9% from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations. The construction of large projects, such as high-rise buildings, is expected to drive employment growth, as will the need to rehabilitate, maintain and replace an increasing number of old roads and bridges. Job opportunities should be best in metropolitan areas, where most large construction projects take place.
